Started photography over a decade ago, then I bought my first digital camera...
I got depressed, the ratio was not the same, I didn't get the same feeling when taking photo's etc... So I took a break, quite long one and now I am back, lightroom just does it for me when getting the colors/contrast that I had in mind and should have appeared!

For now doing wildlife and macro, if I find a model I'll try doing more portraits, which was why I started photography in the first place.
