        My name is Mike and I’m half Dutch, half Israeli. Have been shooting well, since forever. Analog on a Pentax K1000 in my younger years up to 2003 when I switched to digital. After a few digital compacts I returned to Pentax in 2007 with the K110D and these days I shoot 3 distinctive cameras: A Pentax KP with grip for travel, walk-around and cityscapes, a full frame Pentax K-1 Mark II for landscapes and wide views and a full-spectrum converted K-3 for infrared shooting.

        I’ve used a fully open source workflow on a linux system for well over 20 years now and I love experimenting with effects, scripts and panorama images.

        I’m married, recently retired and a once-over granddad with another grandchild about to make an entrance to this world.

            Good to have you @newmikey

            With your open source workflow, does that mean you use gimp and dark table??
