Hello,

I haven't really been active on deviant art. I'm really hardly ever active on deviant art to be fair. Hopefully that will change at some point, but I don't see it happening any time soon (last year of my Uni Bachelor).
However... (hehe, I like that word. It's great to learn new words and especially how to use words you already know when you go abroad )... I'm a little bit more active on my Flickr account.
I've recently purchased a new camera. A DSLR to be exact. I'm absolutely in love with it. I first wanted to go for the Pentax K200D, because it's small and slightly lighter, but in the shop I eventually decided to go for the K20D because it just has more possibilities and, most important to me, it felt a lot more comfortable in my hand even though it's bigger and heavier and it has more buttons. Seriously when you want to change anything like aperture or shutter speed or focus metering you don't even have to go to any menus, you can keep looking through the viewfinder and there are just buttons for absolutely everything!
It's also weather proof (which doesn't mean I can throw it in the water, but it will survive rain and everything), which makes it quite heavy for its kind, but I don't really mind it that much.
Anyway, the K20D was a bit more expensive than the K200D, but I had the money so I just went for it. My dad (and my brother as well) is also a photographer (amateur, used to do air plane spotting) and has a K10D and he'd just purchased a new 300mm lens and he said I could borrow his old one. Which still works really well even though it's quite old. So I've now got quite a nice kit. Especially because I got a tripod and polarizer filter for Christmas .

Anyway, to cut the story short: please visit my Flickr account.
It's a bit more active than my deviant art account (I know you can post photos here and I should, but haven't got the time to upload to 2 really). Will be updating it shortly as well because I took some fireworks photos with new year's, so...
Anyway here's the link: [link]

Enjoy and, even though I'm a bit late, I wish everyone a splendid 2009 !
