For many years, I’ve been captivated by animal and nature photography. It’s just how you see things in this wonderful world. Many YouTube videos have been seen to study wildlife in its natural habitat and to form a bond with the creatures.

To keep a safe distance from the animals, a long-reaching lens is required. To keep everyone satisfied, I’ll need a telelens. I used to work for a long time with a 300mm lens. This lens is fantastic. I usually shoot with prime lenses, which have a fixed focal length. The 300mm lenses are pricey, costing around 6500 euros in this case. When we go to 600mm, the price doubles, and we’re looking at an investment of more than 12000 euros. In my case, it is not necessary.

Today I took a gamble and persuaded myself that I needed a 300mm f2.8 prime Canon lens. My connection to nature would become stronger from this point on.

I got up at 5 a.m. to take my dog to the forest to see the sunrise, which we did. I love it when the birds and other creatures start making noise and the woods come to life.

With my dog at my side, I enjoy the silence and feel the rest of my life come into play. Because I’ve been unwell for the past two weeks, the water has a healing effect on me. The brilliant sun flare flashing over the water makes me happy.

I resume my stroll with my massive Canon lens connected. I’ve heard some deer barking, so I’m assuming something is up. Is now the moment to obtain that first amazing shot?

As you can see, my walk was just a few distances long, but I was able to capture this female deer in the middle of the forest. My day couldn’t have begun any better. When you picture a gorgeous deer right in front of me, it helps me forget about my disease or any other difficulty.

On this beautiful morning, a second deer arrives in the green meadows, looking beautifully and enabling me to imagine her in all her glory. A colourful bird appears nearby. I could picture this, and it also allowed me to record her wonderful colours. The green colouration of the forest, as well as its music, both ease and calm me.

I awoke early, but seeing the land come to life and the wildlife hug me in their natural home was magnificent, and it made me thankful for this time.

As I got closer to my car, I couldn’t help but capture the beauty of the morning.

I believe this image exemplifies it!

The forests had been lighted.

Thank you very much!
