My name is Thomas Maaßen, I am 26 years old and since december 2008 I work at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (NL). I do a PhD in solid state physics with the topic "Spintronics in Graphene".

In summer 2003 I have begun taking photos with my Canon Powershot A70.

By the end of May 2005 I made the next step and bought my digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR) Nikon D70.
Since March 2009 I take pictures with my new camera, the DSLR Nikon D300. Even if the camera looks quite similar to the D70 it is again a big step as the new sensor and the high speed functionality enable to take completely new type of pictures.

As time went by I bought some equipment:

Lenses (each with UV-filter):
Nikon AF-S DX 18-70 mm F/3.5-4.5 G IF-ED
Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200 mm F/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED
Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 mm F/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED
Nikon AF 50 mm F/1.8 D
Tamron SP AF 90 mm F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1
Sigma 150-500 mm F/5-6.3 APO DG OS

other:
flash Nikon SB-800
tripod Manfrotto 190 Pro B with tripod head Manfrotto 141RC
close-up spacer rings Nikon PK-12 and Nikon PK-13
close-up lens B+W 55 NL-4
