Hi

i am Andre Meier from Pretoria, South Africa.

My interest in photography came from my Dad who was an Air Force Air Photographer. My first camera was a Pentax K1000. I later did a military photography course where i learnt to develop and print in BW and colour (old school). I also played around with Kodak cameras before moving on to Nikon.

Whilst in Iraq I used D2 with a 500mm Mirror lens to take photos for the company I worked for.

I was employed in Afghanistan, were I took hundreds of photos whilst flying over the eastern areas. My favourites are landscape and aircraft (military).

My future lens will be the 300mm fixed lens.

Cheers

Thanks Mike

Further to my progress I have upgraded from CS3 to CS 6 as well as Lightroom. So it will be the start of a new learning curve.

Hi Andre welcome,

I just recently got back from Bali where I ran into some cool South Africans, and have travelled 10 countries in Africa so I for one am looking forward to your photos.
