My
first camera I got in 1960.
Without
any auto-focus, exposure meter or automated facilities.
F-stop and shutter time to be adjusted manually, speed to be estimated.
This
way, one learns from the ranks.

Meanwhile
things have changed.
Until April of 2003 I used several analogue Nikon models, most recently an F 5 which can expose 8 shots per second to fill the film within 4.5 seconds.
It
took the lab however several days to develop the film with it's up to 36 shots.

This
was reason enough to change towards digital methods, replacing the F 5 body by a D 200 which is able to save 'jpeg' and 'raw' formats as well, by only one action.
Just
plug the 2 GBytes chip to the camera and save from 120 up to 4,400 shots.
Then transfer them to the PC or dismiss them.

Who
in addition has some training with digital photo processing using Adobe Photoshop, can do most crazy things.
Without rotting chemicals or dark room. Noone could figure out this in the years before.
During
my job education, the most interesting time was the special training for crime scene photography at the German Federal Bureau of Criminology in Wiesbaden.
There I also learned the details from macro photography to illumination.

My
flat I currently share with 13 parrots and 4 dogs.
Therefore
I am also engaged with the local association of "Friends of Animals of Rethymnon" who procure new homes in other countries for Cretan stray animals.
