I've been inspired by nature since I was little. In the spring of 2008 I decided to get my first DSLR camera, Olympus E-510, so that I could capture the nature as I see it. In Autumn of 2009 I upgraded my camera gear to Nikon. At the end of last year I bought Nikon D7000 which is my current body.

My current camera:

Nikon D7000

My current lenses:

Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX 11-16mm f/2.8 (amazing)

Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR

Nikon 50mm f1.8D (superb lens!)

Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro (as sharp as they come)

Other gear:

Velbon Sherpa CF-645 tripod

Velbon QHD-71Q ball head

Lowepro Flipside 400 back pack

Nissin Di622 Flash Gun

I especially like to photograph animals, insects and flora in a familiar every-day urban environment. There really is so much to see if you just take the time to stop and start looking.
