Birds

I'm not a birder, but i love photographing larger birds. They have such character, and by spending time with them you understand their behaviour and can anticipate when something interesting is about to happen

Space- the last frontier!
Or 'To boldly go where no Heron has gone before!!!'
To really get something special I like to return to the same place and species many times. After getting initial good shots you can really go for that something special. I loved how the heavy snowfall combined with the right distance to a dark tree background created an illusion of the Heron soaring out into outer space.

I really like to compose my action shots tight and with narrow focus plane which can be a challenge. The A9 II combined with the 400 2.8 really works wonders here. 20 FPS with fast AF and no blackout view finder makes it possible to keep the action inside the frame :)

Friday afternoon posing competition!

When sitting in a hide you never know exactly what to expect. This friday evening in July a couple a years ago the Great Egret and the Great Grey Heron decided to have a 'pose off'
Hard to judge, both made a worthy entrance!!
Taken at Bence Mates World class hides in Hungary - happy to get back there this summer.

Ser mycket fram emot att återvända till Bences fantastiska gömslen i Ungern nu i sommar. Finns fortfarande några få möjligheter att följa med!

Tidpunkt vald för att ha bra aktivitet på specialgömslena för alla tre av de enligt mig vackraste motiven - Blåkråka, biätare och Härfågel. Något som inte sker under så många veckor.
Kommer bli 8 dagar/7 nätters non stop fotograferande :)

Alla deltagare får dessutom enkelrum utan extra kostnad, och det till ett riktigt konkurrenskraftigt pris!

Heading into the storm!

Flying bird shots is easy to get a bit boring. Nailing the timing to get an interesting background is absolute key to get something that is a bit different.
Love the Great grey Herons, and snowy weather is when they really shine!

Wild dogs are amazing creatures! The feeling of relaxing with a set of young ones are still one of my favorite safari moments. Glad to hear that the next Remembering Wildlife book will be dedicated to wild dogs!

Will be great when it's possible to get out on adventure again later this year!!.

Got 15 minutes in the snow at the local lake the other day. These ‘ugly ducklings’ cooperated to see if they could be transformed to beautiful swans directly through a nice winter photo shoot!

An unforgettable experience!
Often described as the best bird hides in the world, Bence’s bird photography setup is a dream come true for bird photographers. The abundance of shots in different settings you can get here during a dedicated photo week is hard to believe and need to be experienced.
Join me in a small group in June. Best photograph possibilities and very attractive price! A few spots left.

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday!
2020 was a very different year, and I hope all of you have managed to get through it in a decent way. For me it was a year that was intended to focus around Africa. 4 different trips there were on the agenda, and sadly all of them had to be postponed.
Instead of the savannah my time were spent around Stockholm were i Live. This gave opportunity to share the local lake with the birds and especially enjoyed following the crested Grebes throughout the year.
Here are 10 of my favorite encounters from the last 12 month - enjoy and hope we can meet on adventures in the future!!
Majority of the postponed adventures lies now when hopefully the world opens up during 2021. Can't wait to be able to get out there with you again!

From a distant time....
there are people here around Stockholm where I live that still remembers how it looked when the sun used to come up and shine over us. A month now with 0 sun hours, and doesn’t look to promising the coming week either... but a light will come when all hope is gone!!!
