Series of photo's of architectural highlights, art and cities.


Since 1960, when I got my first camera, a Kodak Brownie Starlet, I made photos more and more. My second camera in 1963 was a Petri Blue Magic Scope. The next one was a 6 x 6 cm Yashica Mat (1970-1976). Then I purchased a Nikon Nikkormat FT2. with 3 lenses: Nikkor 85 mm - 1:1.8, Micro Nikkor 55 mm - 1:3.5, Nikkor 24 mm - 1:2.8 which accompanied me for 28 years, until the digital age, when a Nikon D 70 appeared in 2004, this time with a zoom lens (AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm - 1:3.5/4.5). This camera was replaced by a Nikon D 90 in 2009 with 12,3 megapixels and options and the lenses: AF-S Nikkor 18-105 mm - 1:3.5/5.6, AF Nikkor 70-300 mm - 1:4/5.6 and for architecture: a Tokina SD 12-24 mm - 1:4 . In 2011 the camera body changed to a Nikon D7000, more megapixels (16,2), better focusing and faster. In 2013 the camera body changed again to a Nikon D7100 and more megapixels (24,1). In 2015 a Nikon D7200 replaced the previous one.
