Hi There! My name is Rutger Blom. I'm 31 years old. I'm living in Sweden with my wife and daughter. December 2007 I bought my first DSLR: a Canon EOS 400D with two kit lenses. My daughter was just born and I felt my Fujifilm Finepix digital compact camera just wasn’t good enough to capture the most precious thing in my life. The competent 400D indeed did a much better job. As time went on I started to experiment with my camera, bought myself a couple of more lenses and started to take photos of all kinds of motifs. In July 2009 I bought my second and current DSLR: the Canon EOS 5D MK II. In many ways the camera of my dreams. I’m trying to spend as much time as possible photographing. Whenever I get the chance I’m going on a photo walk. I also try to have my camera with me as much as I can. Interesting motifs can come to you at any time. Often when you least expect it. This is what you'll find in my camera bag: - Canon EOS 5D Mark II - Canon EF 17-40mm 4L USM - Canon EF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 II USM - Sigma 50mm 1:2.8 DG Macro - Manfrotto 055 XPRO B with a 488RC2 head - GlobalSat DG-100 GPS for geotagging - Polarizing and NDx8 filters <b>License</b> Read the copyright notice on my <a href="http://www.rutgerblom.com/about/license">website</a>. http://rutgerblom.smugmug.com/photos/573076020_rAtzm-Ti.jpg http://rutgerblom.smugmug.com/ 2010-01-06T00:56:41Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
