Photographic resyme
I've been photographing birds and nature since the mid eighties, starting off with my dads Chinon, some obscure teleconverter bought in New York in 1986, and a Chinon 135 mm lens. In 1987 I bought my first camera, a Pentax K1000. I got hold of a second hand Tamron 300 5.6 after a while, and used that lens until 1999. In this period I got hold of several second hand Pentax Spotmatics, which did a great job doing black and white photography. Despite changing system and starting to use a Nikon F3 in -99 (with a Nikkor 300 mm F:4), I went more and more digital from 2001. Starting up with different compact cameras that I used for digiscoping (mounting or hand-holding the camera towards a telescope). I ended up with the Nikon coolpix 4500, which has done a proper job ever since (but I don't digiscope much anymore). The first digital SLR I tried was a Nikon D100 that I borrowed for a six week journey in Tibet and China. Today I would say the combination of the camera technology and the Nikkor lens did not work too well, but I was pretty satisfied at the time.
I sold my analogue Nikon equipment and bought a Canon 1D in 2004, together with a Canon zoomlens 100-400 mm. It was a new world, and the package was fine until the camera died a year later. For the next years I used a Canon 20d, 1d mark II and 40d. The great zoom died in 2011, and I bought a 400 mm 5.6 together with a 7d house. Today the optics I use for other photography are Canon 24-70 mm, 65 mm, 100 mm and a Sigma 10-20 mm.

On the web
I created my fist website during early spring 1999. It was the first webpage for the Hordaland county's branch of the Norwegian Ornithological Society. In the following years I worked a lot with different projects on the web, until about 2004 when I was engaged both by the University of Bergen and the Norwegian Ornithological Society to work for them.
My first blog was a beta-blog made available by the University of Bergen in 2003. Today I am using different applications to form my website. My aim is to gather my material since the start of my postings on the web in 1999.
