In 2016 i started taking pictures of animals in a professional way, since then i learned a lot of the important things of animalphotography. One of my favorite tours in 2016 was the one to the Birds of Prey show in Steyerling, where i took these amazing shots. It was a really nice day and initially we where about to take some areal shots of the nature and the mountains there, but then Stefan had the idea to visit the Birds of Prey show in Steyerling. This was my first experience in photographing bigger birds and I was fascinated from the first moment. These birds are so beautiful and majestetic, and I was really glad to take some nice closeup pictures of these birds. Even with my 300mm lens it was possible to do so.

The Birds of Prey where really trained well and on the show you could see some nice hunting scenes as well as acrobatic flying scenes of the birds. In the evening we stopped by in Linz for a fireworks again. I already showed you the pictures of the Danube in Flames fireworks some time ago. It was a really amazing day for me with a lot of nice impressions that I wouldn’t like to miss. Since then I improved a lot in my photography and now it’s much more interesting for me to catch such animals in wildlife, but this is also much more difficult. But only if you are not always taking the easiest way you can grow and learn and become better.
