"I love this shot for a couple of reasons. First off, it's just a great shot which no one can deny. The composition is beautiful and graceful. Secondly, it goes to show you that you don't have to save thousands of dollars for that safari in…"
My name is Dennis Rademaker. I was born June 18th 1985 in a city called Nieuwegein which is located smack in the middle of The Netherlands.
In 2007 I started working as a Mechanical ground engineer for a Dutch airline company. It enabled me to save money for my very first camera gear. Off of the internet I bought a second hand Canon EOS 350D with a Sigma 18-50mm and 50-200mm lens. Soon I discovered that the second hand set did not meet my standards in burst speed and autofocus speed. I decided to go to a higher-end set and bought a Canon EOS 40D with a 24-105 f/4L and a 300mm f/4L lens.
In August of 2008 I realized that wildlife, and especially birds, were the main subjects of photos, I was always using big lenses. Since then I upgraded my gear and my skills. I also started to broaden my interest from birds to all living creatures.
Now, a few years later, I am still into wildlife photography and I traveled around, always taking my camera bag with me and sharing my work everywhere I go.
