hey there..
sorry for my late entry... i was trying to catch some thoughts before i was able to write something..
My girlfriend and i split up at friday... goddamn it hurts... well.. i won't say more about that. i don't know yet what i want to do now... of course there's hope but... huh...

what was happening these days?
from April 8th to 22nd i went to Dublin (ireland) with school... I was staying there for 2 weeks at such a friendly family... they were both about 60-70 but... it was so fun to stay at their house.. Dermot (the name of the hostage-father) loves golf and went to the court every day.. even when he was at home he was watching golf all the time on his 42 inch Sony LCD :D
I think we had exactly one day where he had no potatoes in our meal :) But i liked it :)
I'm thinking about writing a letter to them but i haven't done it yet... shame on me :(
Dublin itself was very interesting.. Although i imagined the accent to be much harder to understand! I think the most exciting sight was the guinness factory :) although i was just 16 at that time and alcohol is allowed for 18 years and older (in austria 16) i managed to get a pint of fresh guinness at the top of the factory, where the 360° bar is. But there were a lot of other things to see... i'll recommend it to everyone!
We also had to go to school there.. but it was a special one.. "DCSE (Dublin School of English)"... uh! before i forget! i have to sent a teacher there a few pics! So... done! I hope i've spelled the address right..
To the photography: i just got the 18-70mm and the 70-300mm with me but i've managed to do some good pictures.. maybe i'll upload a few of them..

/cut

Birthday.. Yay! i got 17 on 24th april!
I got the 50mm 1.8 from nikon and a Tamrac photo backpack from my girlfriend (at that time she still was it..).. but i said i would pay for the 50mm because i knew these two things were both expensive... When i told that my father he gave me 50€ and said "well.. i'll buy it for you.." (i got it used from a friend who is just on AF-S now..)

/cut

A few 50mm tryouts...
I'm just playing with my new lens and so i've uploaded a few new pictures...
But i've also deleted a few so here's my new counter:

19.11.2007: 238
20.11.2007: 160
20.1.2008: 119
19.5.2008: 84

So... slowly the bad pictures are getting deleted... :)

I'm having a bit contact to :iconniko-likes: who's one of the best photographers here on dA in my own opinion...
But he has just about 2800 pageviews... goddamn why?!
Please take a look at his fantastic gallery!

hi,
sorry dass ich so lange nicht geantwortet habe.. meine freundin machte am freitag schluss und ich hab mich noch nicht wirklich gefangen...

ja das kolleg wäre prinzipiell schon sehr interessant.. die einzige frage die ich mir noch stelle: wie siehts danach aus? suchen studios o.ä. nach abgängern dieses kollegs? Das mit der mobilität wäre für mich denke ich auch kein problem.. ich bin in den letzten monaten auch in 3 großstädten gewesen und hätte natürlich auch nichts dagegen was anderes zu entdecken (wie deine letzte reise.. costa rica oder so?)!
Also deiner meinung nach wäre das schon eine Überlegung wert? Was hast du nach deiner Ausbildung vor?

zur D80: als ich mit dem freund meiner mutter redete meinte dieser dass er es klüger findet jetzt mal ein bisschen zu warten, vielleicht filter etc zu kaufen und danach den kauf einer D300 zu wagen, sprich bei den semi-professionellen zu bleiben. damit würde eben die D200 für mich rausspringen, und über die müssen wir denke ich nicht diskutieren ;)

lg

hi daniel ..

sorry fürs lange nicht antworten...

naja, die frage is schon berechtigt denk ich.. reinkommen geht über aufnahmeprüfung die jeder schafft der sich echt damit beschäftigt und genügend Motivation verspürt diesen Weg wohl auch weitergehen zu wollen oder sogar zu müssen..
sie wollen beim Aufnahmegespräch 10 Fotos von dir sehen, die sollen technisch qualitativ in ordnung sein... und was wichtig ist.. sie wollen einfach sehen dass du es ernst meinst.. ... wär das interessant für dich?
der weg danach .. je nach dem wohin man geht .. oder bereit ist zu gehen.. .Mobilität ist schon ein gewisser faktor .. für mich hat sich die frage nie gestellt, denn reisen ist eh einer meiner fav. hobbies. ...
Die graphsiche bietet eine Berufsausblidung.. eher weniger künstlerisch.. jedoch auch vorhanden.. .. sagen wir so: die wollen dass du danach damit dein geld verdienen kannst...
zur kunst noch: auch :icongnato: wird auf der graphischen durchaus anerkannt und gefördert und gelobt ;-))
also dann .. lg

Nik


ps: D80 is a feine wahl..
