| Intro: | DEAR FRIENDS: Update May 16th 2008 I AM TAKING A "SABBATICAL" FROM THE COMPUTER! We are off on our VIENNA HOLIDAY very soon - over 5 glorious weeks - and hope to come back refreshed and loaded up with multi-giga bytes of images! A week after returning from Europe, we will head to Montreal for a TrekLens Meet - talk about busy! In the meantime I wish everyone a GREAT SUMMER with lots of picture opportunities! Thanks everyone for your critiques and support. WE'LL BE BACK!!!!! 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.
