Harry (aka Mharda) van den Brink

Since May 2007 I am photographing with a PENTAX DSLR. In my younger days I photographed with a lot of non-dslr camera's on holidays only. Since a few years I realized that besides my work and family I didn't took time for a hobby. As photography did interest me, I wanted to take it up. I bought a Panasonic FZ30 megazoom and subscribed to a good course: not the camera central, but the essential facts (DoF ect.) and a lot of really good looking at photographs to see what is the magic ingredient. In this year I made an inventory of all my wishes in a DSLR. And then there was a new camera: K10D. Raving reviews, and more important: in my camera shop the only one which really felt good holding it. I am still following a photography course each year and go several times a year on workshops (mostly nature/animals). My two kids join me with their compacts in trips to the zoo and other outings. Update August 2009: I have received my new K7 and my sons already opted for the K10D... I also developed an interest in portraiture and have now a little 'home studio'. Update December 2010: Bought the K5. Great High ISO and speed! In 2010/2011 again a lot of workshops, mainly Studio and Strobist! Update May 2012: Dropped the K5, no repair possible. So I bought the K5 IIs. Indeed very sharp! For my pictures see: http://www.mharda.com
