THESE PAGES ARE A DRAFT
Equipment
What help me to take a shoot.
In these pages there's the "state of the art" of my equipment.
Every time I can, I buy used gear, that I can try and touch before. And if it doesn't work for me... I can always resell it.
From 1998, when I bought my first Nikon (a pair of years before, with the last Olympus, actually), I've used dozens of lenses, some bodies and other.
Now I know very well what I need and like, but there's always a "reason" to try something else, change a lens or doubled another with sometring similar...
...And discover a new lens that I cant't live without.
Curiosity is the engine to do so, and with that curiosity I've tried unusual paths and I'd never stop to thing. It force me to control everything and feed my passion, the real passion.
With all the gear I'd use, I never changed how I make my photos.
I've never used "Program" exposure mode or "Matrix" light reading.
I always prefer to use every newest digital body like an old OM-1, using my brain and my experience to change how the exposimenter suggest me.
No software can replace a photographer
For the same motivatios I like to develop the photo from the idea until the print, through the shoot, develop and post processing.
Unfortunately, I haven't any experience in darkroom. The digital era (before digital cameras) offered me the possibility to manage directly the photos.
First with a film scanner for the slides, and now taking photos in RAW format.
So, I can say "It's all my work", both for a nice and an horrible photo.
