Photo of the Day ContestRed Squirrel Pose by Mart Smit
Monday, 5th February 2007
I am a student at a secondary school.
My favourite hobby is nature photography but I like also doing all kind of sports and working on my website www.martsmit.nl.
At a early age, I was already interested in nature. When I was about ten years old, I took all kind of pictures with my fathers equipment, but now I have my own.
In 2004 I won a price in the Argus Nature Photography competition in Belgium and that gave me the possibility to buy some excellent equipment.
The Canon EOS 20D and a Canon 100-400 5.6 L IS.
Most of my pictures are made in my neighbourhood, in our garden or around the farm of my grandparents.

January 12th, 2008 at 10:49 amAbout a 1,5 years ago my parents bought a postcard in Berlin and it featured this photo of yours.
I believe your shot was a winning image from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Compo from the BBC in 2005, right? I think you shot it before your 14th birthday. Impressive. My parents bought the postcard at a photography convention and they were impressed with your picture as you shot it at such an early age. Like my parents I think it’s a very good photo. I still have that postcard lying somewhere around.
