- DEAR FRIENDS:
Update July 19th 2008
Back from Holidays in Austria and Quebec, there are a ton of pictures to be edited. Since I am very active on several other sites, my contributions here are only sporadic for the next while, as time permits.
Cheers
Otto
About Myself
I had shot primarily with film, but when I borrowed my wifes digital last year, I was impressed and purchased one for myself. I really like the convenience and quality of the images, not to mention that I can shoot a lot more (with a big memory) than I would with film. Presently, I let the automatic features of the camera prevail, but I am slowly getting used to the manual operation and had started using manual settings more often.
I am foremost a painter, but since joining TrekEarth (as well as TrekLens and TrekNature) my interest in photography as an art form has increased, and with the help of the Trek family, so have my skills.
Previously, I used photography as a support medium for my other artistic pursuits in painting, drawing and printmaking.
There is much to learn here, and I am looking forward to your critiques as well as looking at your work.
For a view of my artwork, check my website. Giclee prints of my art work and photo manipulations can also be seen at Otto Rapp at Fine Art America.
Cheers
Otto "The Mystic" Rapp
