Warm greetings to all click-heads over here!
My name is Srikeerthi KS and I go by various IDs over other forums (usually sksy_biker). I got my first camera when I was about 10 years old as a gift from my uncle. It was a simple film camera that got me interested into photography. Being a kid I was limited to shooting on social occasions or a tour when my father would buy me a roll or two to click. So this hobby of mine was under hibernation for quite a while till I started earning my own money.
I started borrowing my friends digital camera during weekends when I wanted to shoot some pictures. I bought another camera some 6 years back. This time it was another digital P&S but soon outgrew it. After trying various P&S and Ultrazooms back then, I decided to skip a segment and buy a DSLR. I knew it was a money sucking hobby (which hobby isn't ;) )and I haven't been proven wrong yet. I've been using my trusty Canon 350D for 3.5 years now. With over 50k clicks from it, its done its job well.
My website: I upload my work at Jeetenge.com (http://www.jeetenge.com)
My current equipment list is something like this:
Camera Body:
Canon 350D (looking to buy a 50D or a 5D II, have to decide on one sooner or later :) )
Lenses and related:
Canon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6
Canon 50mm f1.8
Canon L IS 70-200 F4
Tamron 28-75 f2.8
Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6
Sigma 70-300 f4.-5.6 APO DG Macro
Kenko extension tube set and 1.4x tele-convertor
Flash: Canon 430Ex
Other stuff:
Jenova shoulder bag (Body + 2 lenses for small shoots)
Kata R-102 for longer shoots
Velbon Sherpa 750r tripod, and RAM-mount bike camera mounts
Camera and flash remote radio triggers
Most of my photographs would fall under the category of travel photography. Since I usually travel on my motorcycle (my other passion), I get enough opportunities to use my camera. I have done other kinds of photography which are not directly related to travel, but I still haven't found something that I could call as my favorite or forte.
I'll end this post with a few pictures that I have taken:
