Taking pictures is one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy photographing people, children, lightning, fireworks, architecture and everything else worthwhile. I am continuously trying to improve my skills. Though there is still a very long path to go. Luckily I have time for that.
I am a big fan of strobist techniques (see: http://www.strobist.com). David Hobby really learned me how to light better. I’m taking at least one strobe with me if I go out for shooting.
I started with a little Minolta F-100. At that time it was a nice camera and small enough to hide it in the handbag of my wife. Unfortunately I took zero action shots. It was way too slow. Switching it on, lens coming out, start zooming, focusing and finally taking the picture took around ten seconds.
Afterwards I bought a Nikon D70s with the Nikkor 18-70mm DX lens. Finally a “real” camera. It was so much easier to capture action. As soon as available I purchased the Nikkor 18-200mm DX allrounder and the Nikkor 12-24mm DX wide angle. The 18-200mm lens is excellent for traveling. Despites its huge zooming range, the optical quality is pretty good. The 12-24mm is one of my favorites. I love to shoot wide angle, it gives so much depth to my pictures. A bit later I bought my first flash: a Nikon SB-600.
After one year and a half I sold my D70s with the 18-70mm and bought a Nikon D200. It’s and excellent camera for me: much better sealed for dust and rain, big LCD screen, pretty fast and very easy to adjust many controls without using menus. In addition I got the SB-800 too for more power and possibilities….

about rebekka guðleifsdóttir … Visual artist and photographer.
“All photographs are taken by myself (also the ones with me in them) and all post-processing is done by me.
I am self-taught. I decided to become a photographer in May of 2005. There is nothing i would rather do.
I primarily shoot digital, because it’s more accessible, but i work with film whenever i get the chance and i have a darkroom at my disposal.”
IEX: Rebekka, how did all this start?
RG: I really just fell into photography without planning to be a photographer. I worked for three years in a coffee shop and would do pencil drawings when things were slow. I sold a few, and hoped that I would eventually become a painter. But then I discovered that I could make photos that looked like what I wanted to paint, and they didn’t take 4 months to produce! Plus, I was a hopeless painter.You’re obviously a good photographer – your Flickr site has received well over 4 million hits.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s been too fast. Flickr is a bit of a monster. I owe a lot of my success to the site, but it has also forced me to become “professional” about my work very quickly. When I started posting pictures I was really just messing around, having fun taking shots of myself or whatever came to mind. As the popularity of the site grew and I learned more of my craft, it became more about creating art through photography.excerpt from interview on Iceland Express
