The camera.

Im in the photography since 10 years or even more. I started with standard compact analog camera taking some standard vacation pictures and after few years of practising with the automatics i turned to analog SLR camera to take some experience with more advanced thing. The first SLR was an old Russian Zenith camera which was manualy controlled. It gave me a lot of new experience so i was practising that another few years. Few years later my Zenith has broken so i had to buy another analog camera. The first one was Chinon and the second Ricoh, both compatible with Pentax system. Those cameras were still used usually during vacation to take completely non-professional pictures. Few years later I started to think about DSLR camera being compatible with Pentax. My friend living in States bought me Pentax K10D there and it was a revolution. Flexibility of the digital camera was incredible, i could take hundred of pictures and practising every singe day not worrying about photographic films. That time i started to contribute to some Pentax forum, just to learn how to make good pictures. I found there some beautiful macro pictures i was completely amazed with, so i started to think how to make such pictures and what i really need. I started also practising in the fields and realized it is not that hard to master. Currently im using Pentax K5 DSLR, mostly due to fact that my old K10D is already dead. I didnt want to change the lens system so i decided to stay with Pentax and it was like hitting the spot. Its a great camera, semi-professional, giving the photographer fantastic colors and good flexibility which i get as two most important things. Im still working only on manual settings and Pentax gives me exactly what i need.

And in the end for today, i wanted to show you another two pictures. This time its a very primitive but beautiful species which is Ephemeroptera. The imago lives only one day for males and few days for females. Imago lives only to copulate, the male dies just after the copulation and female can live even few days just to place its eggs into the water. The larvas live underwater, even few years. I hope you will like it.  

Best,
