Christian,
I know, this topic comes back to
me from time to time, but, to be honest, what exactly do you expect from my commenting? Many pictures presented here are very beautiful, so only i can say is 'thats a great picture'. Im not on the position to learn people how to take pictures as its very delicate thing. I have some experiences from other forums, where many negative comments about the pictures were taken as 'rude comments', everybody rather expect praising the pictures than send a negative feedback and show whats wrong with the picture. Trust
me, i'd like to see how people develop themselves and progress with technique, compositions, light etc., but its hard to learn people just with writing what to do. They have to train more in the field, use various techniques, get more equipment and wake up earlier

What i can add is to describe what equipment i used for my pictures, maybe it will point some others to use similar.
best,
Michal
