If I shall describe myself, I am a nature photographer who loves to sit still and let nature come to me. I prefer to work on projects and rarely travel on "traits" when it comes to birds or other animals, but I try to work goal-oriented with what I am doing. My career as a nature photographer took off in 2009 with my first digital system camera. Before that, I have been photographing nature and the environment since I was 10 years old when I was allowed to borrow my father's camera.
Have fun and be inspired.

    Lovely photos and video, as always, Göran. Black Grouse are a superb bird and not photographed often enough. There are two or three leks, around 50-60km from where I live, but it means getting up very early, especially in the summer months. No hide but you can see them close to the road. I look forward to your next video. Mark.

    Hey Göran, thank you for this great video. Unfortunately I don’t have a camera with this feature. But I have never thought, that bird photography can be so comfortable . But be careful, this method for shooting photos can be dangerous, if you make it too often a lot of icecream can increase your weight ;-))
