Let me start by introducing myself. I'm Frank from the Netherlands, currently sixty-eight years old and retired for over a decade already. This gives me plenty of time to spend on one of the most fascinating hobbies I have, photography. It combines really well with travelling, another passion of mine.
I am not specifically going out with the sole purpose of taking photos. I mostly take photos when travelling. It also means I hardly ever make use of a tripod as I find it too much of a hassle to carry around and set up. On my travels I try to pay attention to the shots I make which means not just clicking away at random. I don't believe I have a specific style but I do like perfection to a certain extent. The composition is the most important part of any photo I think. It could be a certain angle, subjects in the foreground, following the rule of thirds and straight horizons and buildings. I also prefer to keep my travel photos the way they were taken with minimal editing. I will not exchange the sky for a prettier one, nor will I excessively remove things I don't like or overcolourize the shots.
I have never been a fan of Photoshop as I find it ridiculously complex, but there are some really nice tools from other vendors like Luminar, Topaz and InPixio and I have fun editing some photos into something a bit more artsy.
Currently I am using a Sony A7 IV full frame camera.
