Thanks! I did trow away a few that weren't as good. Culling photo's is also an important skill!
Originally posted by maucard Dear Remco, your photoreportage is truly interesting and very well executed, congratulations for its publication on the online magazine! I agree, the choice of the 100 2.8 macro has been the right one, considering the closeup photos you had to do. In the closeup, you were able to obtain a blurred background, which helped to focus the attention on the subject. Well done! I opened the link to that reportage on NOS magazine, and I found this project (described in the reportage) a truly innovative example of active protection of an ecosystem. Thank you for having shared with us this important and stimulating work!
All the best, Maurizio
Thanks for your appreciation Maurizio! The researchers and the institutions supporting their work were also really happy with the publicity. On social media there were some pretty critical reactions to about the work done here. But that comes with the territory. I cover the story as good as I can, leaving people with enough information to form an opinion.
Originally posted by MikeNArk Great photos and interesting information about the environmental studies being conducted to determine the make up of the environment that attracts certain species. Glad that you are able to document this work. Thanks again for sharing with us.
Thanks Mike! Even on a national scale there aren't that much journalists specialized in reporting on nature and I do feel pressure to perform as best as I can. We currently have serious staff shortages and I have been called upon quite often to help out. And that does impact my ability to cover this stuff!
