Last weekend, I had the pleasure of embarking on a bird hut photoshoot with my son, Dimitri, and his friend, Luc. We rented a cozy hut from situated near the serene landscapes of Kalmthout, Belgium.
We arrived at the hut just as the sun began to rise, casting a golden hue over the surroundings. The day was a delightful mix of clouds and sunshine, creating interesting and dynamic lighting conditions that were perfect for photography.
As we settled into the hut, we were greeted by the sights and sounds of various bird species. Among the highlights of our day were the stunning European starling, the vibrant kingfisher, the graceful moorhen, and the charming chaffinch. Each bird presented a unique opportunity to capture their beauty through the lens.
The experience was not just about photography; it was also a wonderful bonding day with my son. Sharing this passion for nature and photography with Dimitri and Luc made the day even more special. We laughed, learned, and marveled at the wonders of the avian world together.
Here are some of the photos I captured during our photoshoot:
-
European Starling: Its iridescent feathers shimmered in the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing display of colors.
-
Kingfisher: With its striking blue and orange plumage, the kingfisher was a true jewel of the water.
-
Moorhen: This elegant bird glided gracefully across the water, leaving ripples in its wake.
-
Chaffinch: The chaffinch's cheerful song and vibrant colors added a touch of joy to our day.
Overall, it was a day to remember, filled with beautiful moments and cherished memories. I look forward to more such adventures and capturing the beauty of nature through my lens.
