I’m a retiree from northern Germany who has been photographing for over 50 years. I’ve experienced just about everything—from darkroom work, photograms, and cyanotypes to Lightroom and Photoshop, or at least followed all those developments closely. If you want to know more about me, you can find my photos and resume at www.foerster-preetz.de (no need to copy everything here).
After trying out several forums and communities over the past few years and leaving each one feeling frustrated, I’m using the Corona lockdown as an opportunity to give it another shot. I’m genuinely interested in honest criticism and feedback on my photos as a foundation for growth. I’ve decided to be equally open and straightforward with both criticism and praise. Let’s see how it goes.I’m a retiree from northern Germany who has been photographing for over 50 years.

Let’s see how it goes.Ich bin ein Rentner aus Norddeutschland, fotografiere seit über 50 Jahren und habe von Dunkelkammer, Photogrammen, Cyanotypie bis zu Lightroom und Photoshop so ziemlich alles mitgemacht oder zumindest mitverfolgt. Wer mehr von mir wissen möchte findet Bilder und Lebenslauf unter www.foerster-preetz.de (muss man ja nicht immer alles kopieren).
Nachdem ich in den letzten Jahren einige Foren und Communities ausprobiert und jeweils wieder frustriert verlassen habe, will ich die Corona-Kontaktsperre mal wieder für einen neuen Versuch nutzen. Mir ist an ehrlicher Kritik und Bewertung meiner Fotos gelegen, als Basis, um mich weiter zu entwickeln. Ich habe mir vorgenommen, selber weder mit Kritik noch mit Lob zurückhaltend zu sein. Mal sehen, ob das alles so klappt.
