About the Photodiary


Background
	Hi, I started this photodiary website in 2000 and it has grown over the years in content as well as in popularity. I am always amazed by the number of visitors I am getting to my website. At the moment there are almost 5000 unique visitors per day, which is pretty amazing for a personal website. The bad side of this is that since my server cost has gotten quite high, I had to start ad-based support on this website. I hope for your understanding and please note our sponsors :-) If you wish to be kept updated about this site or want to discuss about it, please join the Photodiary Facebook Group! If you wish to contact me, just send me an email to photodiary (at) gmail.com.
Cameras
I have used many, many different cameras, shooting my photos in the photodiary.... Minolta AF-1, my very first own camera Canon F-1, my Dad lent it to me Nikon F801, after working for a couple of months, I was able to afford my own first SLR Nikon Coolpix 950, my first entry into Digital got me hooked and gave me the inspiration for this website Nikon Coolpix 995, successor, when I needed more megapixels Canon Ixus Digital 2, small at the time, perfect as a night-out companion Canon D3D, my first step into the digital SLR age Nikon Coolpix 4500, I lost one of them in Fiji and I bought another for going to Egypt Canon 10D, when I needed more megapixels Canon 20D, probably the best camera improvement in Canon's SLR range Canon Ixus 800IS, upgrade for my Ixus 2 Canon 40D, quite a good upgrade - finally ISO in the viewfinder
