Greetings from Austria

[Xaviergut]

I’m a Spanish-German-living-in-Austria photo/videographer who started taking photos in 2018.

By then my doctor told me that I have to take long walks, that's how it started. Just at that time I was reading Susan Sontag's essay "On photography", which had an impact on me and motivated me to start documenting things such as situations, landscapes, people, animals, etc. Along with that I also had a quite serious professional crisis, but my new passion for photography came to rescue me. Then I discovered that even photography can be a means of artistic expression, which further increased my interest in this creative technological world.

I started with a Nikon dslr aps-c camera (D7500) and many micro four thirds cameras. Later I went to a full frame camera (Nikon Df, my favorite camera of all time that I don't think I'll ever sell), until one fine day I bought the Panasonic S5 (I sold the Nikon aps-c and various cameras and m4/3 lenses) and saw that I could frame 65:24 photos directly on the camera and that it is very well suited for timelapses and, of course, video.

I am not a very technical photographer, so I appreciate that in this forum you can learn a lot from photographers (and engineers) who are much more experienced, skillful and “mathematical” than me. For this I am very grateful to this entire community of photographers.

Out and about with a camera, sounds like fun. The outdoors is a good place to be...

Ask questions/answer questions. Post pix but don't photodump. Less, as usual, is often more.
Dialogue matters more than faves--too many here don't get that.
