I grew up in the beautiful Weerribben nature reserve in the Kop van Overijssel. Here I can fully enjoy my hobby nature photography. Regularly, weather permitting, I go out and make a tour through this beautiful area or visit one of the beautiful viewing huts located here. The encounters with people and nice contacts are always fun. I mainly photograph animals such as birds, butterflies and insects. Occasionally, I also come across a Ree, Squirrel or even an Otter. I am the proud owner of the Nikon D500. With my telephoto lens Sigma 150-600 C, I shoot at small and long distances. With my AF-S 105mm f/2.8G VR Nikon macro lens, I capture small subjects or details up close.
