A cane plume across a path

This photo feb I took in the Harderbroek near Zeewolde in the Flevopolder. It is a photo of a reed plume which is common in this nature reserve. The Harderbroek is a wet nature reserve that was created after the Second World War, so there is quite a lot of reed and grass in the Harderbroek. I like the light on the reed plume in relation to the background. It was already evening when I took this photo, I was already on my way to the car park where my bike was parked. For this photo I did use a light telephoto lens whereby there is a nice depth of field. The sky was also beautiful once as was the light.

This artwork is offered by Gerard de Zwaan

Welcome to my shop. My name is Gerard de Zwaan and I was born in 1983 in the Veluwe town of Harderwijk, where I still live. I started photography in 2013. My first camera was a Nikon D3200 which I still own, currently I use a Nikon D7200. Every now and then I also use 1 or 2 Nikon SB700 reportage flash units to highlight a subject. From the beginning I mainly do nature photography, it is mainly landscapes I photograph, the Veluwe woods around Harderwijk being a perfect starting point for this. Occasionally I do macro photography and sometimes I photograph wildlife. Occasionally, I also do portraits of people, which can be commissioned or free work.
