| january 2011 northern Thailand |
I have been photographing since 2007. I began taking pictures with a Nikon D80 body and a 300mm/f4 Nikkor lens. Since 2013 I use a Nikon D600 with the same lens. Since june 2015 I use a 300mm f/4 VR Nikkor. '23 I began with Nikon Z6ii mirrorless...
I use this H5 Zoom recorder with a SSH-6 shotgun mic for bird sounds.
This telescope I bought in April 2021. Small, light and good quality
and of course the library
I have been birding abroad; besides some countries in Europe I visited Israel twice, Oman, Morocco, Peru, Costa Rica, Colombia, South Africa, Ecuador twice, Thailand twice, Florida, Canary Islands, Madeira, California, Turkey, Western Sahara and Algeria.
