Hi.
I'm having fun with computer graphics since I remember.
I mean really. 

I started with Deluxe Paint on my fellow Amiga 1200 in the early '90s. I remember drawing mighty Millennium Falcon pixel by pixel on a document that was 1200x1200px size and animating sleeping dog showered with water by a nasty hydrant. Pixel by pixel as well. It was long hours of painting, with not so precise mouse. Nobody would dream of graphic tablets at that time. At least not at home. But believe me, it was such a beautiful years of my life.

After switching to PC* I started to use Photoshop and just sink into CG world. I tried almost every possible software available. Just to learn the most of it. Till then I can do almost anything in every possible raster graphics software.

Finally I bumped into Cinema 4D and I realized I can make my own worlds. Not just enhancing or changing the existing one. Those were really awesome years in my life with literally months spent in mentioned C4D, Lightwave, 3DStudio Max, Z Brush and Blender, which turned out to be the most difficult by the way. PLE editions, trials of each version and student editions were my best friends for about 10 years.

But I dreamed about having my own photo camera my whole life. Years were fading away so a photo camera changed into a real DSLR. But always it was a lot beyond of my budget until 2014, when one month was better in terms of 'having some spare money' so I just said:

Yes, I was right. If I wouldn't buy the camera then, it would be impossible to buy it now.
So the Oscar went to... Nikon D5200. I don't know why exactly... I read a lot 'bout this 'holy Canon vs Nikon war', but I guess there was one thing that prevailed on Nikon. Better lenses. Canon guys will say I was wrong but... Who cares. It was my choice. A good choice I can say right now.
So there they are. AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and sweet AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G. Maybe someday I'll switch to or just add to the happy family 50mm f/1.4 but I don't know yet. Really depends on my budget.

It's time for the third 'graphics' stage of my life. After 2D graphics and 3D now it's my own DSLR photography. It is just fun for now and, well it will be, I guess. I don't think I'll do this for money at any time. I don't think there is enough space for me or if I'll have enough of talent or this 'professional eye'.

I've returned for good to Photoshop and my new favorite kid in the software family, Lightroom, at some point of my adventure totally underestimated and incomprehensible, now became totally irreplaceable.

I love to make photos. Make them, not take them. I guess that's the real trick. It is not a problem to take hundreds of shots and then pick only twenty of them which are bearable at least. I'd rather make hundreds and throw away just twenty of them. Good? Yup, I think it's really good. And that's my goal.

From the first day I'm using my D5200 in the full Manual Mode. I don't want the camera to pick anything for me. I want to know what I did wrong. This way I know my little baby the best way possible. Though I'll see if it is the right way to learn.
I'm still learning and have a long way to walk to make really good photos but I guess those few you will see or already saw in here were not so bad.

A little fragment of my favorite R. Frost poem would be perfect for my long journey ahead:

OK, I guess that's all.

I hope you will all enjoy at least one of the photos you will see here. That means that at least once I made something good for someone else. That would be great!

And a little or rather pretty big update from 2016th.

I've got an awesome camera body upgrade after buying a brand new Nikon D500 with bloody fast AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G and amazing Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G ED AF-S VRII. Looks like this set will be the base one for a lot of incoming years.
