Hello from Austria

Hi!
I would like to introduce me. I am from Austria and live in Tulln wich is located next to vienna.
I started photography long time ago with a Dynax 500si. After a few years of using a pocket cam I use a Sony Alpha 300.
Most of my pictures show animals and landscapes. The link to my homepage, where you can see some of them, you find in my signature.

Best regards.

Welcome to the forum! Feel free to post some of your photos.

Austria is beautiful. I was there in 2001 and 2005.

Welcome! I hope you are a member of Foto Club Austria which is based in Pollau and sponsored now by Sony (used to be the Minolta Club Austria).

I'd say LG means "Liebe Grüsse", which we might translate as "kind regards" or so

Anyway, welcome Harald!

I should have said 'Grüße gut!' - the only regular expression I learned in Austria apart from 'noch ein bier' and, because the accomodation was a bit basic, 'mir ist kalt'...

Actually, I learned a lot of photographic talk, and managed to discuss projected slides - all I needed was stuff like 'sehr scharfe!' and 'wunderschoene farbe!', 'hintergrund' and 'fodergrund' and my favourite German word in photography, 'motif' - which is not exactly the same as 'subject' in English, because it also means 'theme', and is a much better word. My fellow British Journal writer Jonathan Eastland has started using it in English all the time, referring to the motif of the photograph. German is much more expressive about photography/art. I spent one year, in 1981/2, editing a magazine translated from the Swiss 'Photographie' into English. I employed Andreas Vogt, a young German photographer who was dodging the National Service - he worked in our studio, and did the first stage translations from writers like Harald Mante, Michael Gnade; I then turned these into good idiomatic English. Andreas stayed, and has a successful business in Wales.

Later on we translated all the Magic Lantern guides to cameras for Fountain Press, with the help of a young student who had come over to Scotland - she stayed too, went to college here, got a teaching degree, and we still see her around. She speaks perfect Scots with an Irish accent because her husband (then boyfriend) is Irish.

Hi!

Thank you for your nice posts.
Sorry I forgot to change the salutation in my signature.

@bossel: You are right, LG stands for Liebe Grüsse and this means kind regards.
@david: At the moment I am not a member of the Fotoclub Austria but who knows.

I will show you some of my pics in the near future.

That reminds me of what I always ask new travelers. "Do you know what the 3 most important words are in any language?"

Invariably they replay with "I love you?"

"No," I tell them, "it's 'Where's the bathroom?' "!

This is strange.

He pretends his name was "Harald" from Tulln and he was shooting with a Sony Alpha 300---but the website he is referring to as being his own actually is owned by Franz Fletzberger from Sierndorf who is using a Nikon D200. There's something fishy ...

That's what I was trying to point out above.

It is the homepage of my father, not mine
