author and used systems
My name is Alberto B. Scalia: I was born in Tripoli (Libia) on 2th may of 1960. I live in Latina, near to Rome, on the border of the Natural National Park of Circeo, that is really assailed but presents excellent natural resources too. From when I was a child I really was attracted to the wild nature and animals.
I've, today, two great passions: photography and malacology with collection and study of shells. You can read about this on my work website (www.ancillista.eu).
On 1999 I funded, togheter other partners, the Tirrenical Popular University of Natural Sciences and I'm today Vicepresident and Didactic Director. So I work for the nature pratically fulltime.
In regard of photography I make it from 25 years al least:
I love macro above all, but I like landscapes and birds too: I'm particulary attracted from entomology.
I use digital sistems from no long time and, working in the field of graphic editing, I like and use all the possibilities that these sistems offer. But I believe that every digital graphic elaboration has to remain inside the feeling of the click moment, that only the author know. In this sense, I justify soft intervents on the digital image, that has not to be changed in its ebscence and athmosphere.
