grimp's Profile

The picture is there in the first place. The camera is only an extension to the eye, a crude lifeless instrument, a tool to capture the instant. It is important to see that picture before we can shoot it.

After first steps in digital with a Canon G1 which proved not to be the camera he was after Grimp shoots on a Canon EOS 5D with a number of lenses.

His favourite lenses are the 28-135 IS and the 100-400 IS.

Before the digital age there was a long period of analogue photography and quite a number of cameras. Some more recent shots are from a really tough EOS 1N mostly on Fujifilm and scanned with a Konica Minolta Elitescan 5400.
Some other cameras in use were a Zenit 3M (Russian) and a Canon F1.
The first steps were made on daddy`s Agfa Isolette (1951) on 6x6 film. That was in 1967.
Since March 2005 when I bought a vintage Zeiss Ikon Contax I through eBay, I`ve also tried to bring that elderly lady back to life by taking her out for pictures. The first pictures came out a little blurred but promising on the whole.
