  I took the photo in the afternoon while stalking. Luckily for me, the sun was just lighting up the cloud, and the bird was in the right place at the right time, and I managed to compose the photo in the light.

  I was born in Érsekújvár. I bought my first SLR camera in 2014 and I quickly got hooked and I went to a number of lectures and courses. The learning process hasn't stopped, and it never will. I am most interested in nature photography, including animal photography. Since I was a child, I have spent a lot of time outdoors, where I find peace, and then I only focus on photography. I spend weeks or even months on a subject before I see the image on the monitor that has been in my head all along. I want to create something special and lasting with my pictures so that I am not the only one who can experience the things I have seen over the years.
