Birds are how I got into wildlife photography in the first place. It all started with a bird I photographed and couldn't identify. That turned out to be a Blackcap. Birds have since then always kept my interest and I have seen many more. I look for them both in my home country and abroad.
I picked wild cats (Felidae) as the group of animals that I like my trips abroad to focus on. I plan to see every species of this family, although some are considered very difficult. I liked having a goal to serve as a bit of a guideline for trip planning and cats are definitely worth the attention!
Looking for wildlife comes with the added benefit to be in many amazing landscapes. Although my focus is on the wildlife I sometimes can't resist investing some time in landscape photography. I especially like taking pictures at night because then the camera can bring out so much more.
The area below the water surface offers a whole new playing field for photography which requires very different skills and equipment. Fairly recently I have become interested in getting nice pictures under water. I focus on wide-angle photography while making use of natural light.

However, that changed when it became possible to see this big cat in Ladakh, India after spending days scanning the mountainsides with a telescope […]
