However, my favourite ones are those where I get \u201cadopted\u201d by my subjects who consider I am one of them. It was a while ago, I was a beginner in wildlife photography and I had installed a few remote camera traps close to some badger setts as I wanted to understand their behaviour. A fox who had recently given birth came to live in the neighbourhood; her litter was only 2 or 3 weeks old. I went to check on the cards and batteries but, since I wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible, I decided to go there after sunset. While I was checking on the camera traps, four fox cubs came close to me, curious but apprehensive. Then two more came out of the den. I stood still, afraid they might get scared and run away. After they smelled me and decided I was no threat, the cubs decided to play together, catching each other\u2019s tails, biting ears. It was then I slowly drew back and sat down to watch them play like innocent, harmless toddlers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;197933&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]I returned to see the fox cubs a few times, making sure I wasn\u2019t intrusive. They were aware of my presence, of course, yet they kept playing without worrying. They had adopted me so we watched a few sunsets together. It was breathtaking![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;271596&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;135223&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;679650&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Which animal was the most difficult to shoot?

And it\u2019s also quite a rare thing as I have never before seen anything similar. Anyway, it was nothing strenuous or very hard. It\u2019s true I was there to take pictures of cuckoos; I had chosen the spot carefully, so that it was eye-pleasing and then I waited, well camouflaged, next to a hawthorn bush; it was drizzling and without knowing it, I eventually got wet to the bone. The fight for territory between the two cuckoos was, in a way, an unexpected reward for my patience and persistence.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;626018&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Last year, the most difficult animal to capture was the red deer. In the mountains it is almost impossible to catch it into the great wide open, without a lot of vegetation or obstacles. On flatter ground it is different, though. Therefore, the greatest challenge was not finding the stag; it was taking its picture against a pleasant backdrop, bathed in good light. Many attempts later, with a little help from my friends, after driving hundreds of kilometers and waiting for countless hours, I finally got to take a few shots that I really like.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;820005&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;872746&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;290505&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]What has the wildlife taught you so far?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;140234&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]They have taught me that in nature there is no good and evil; they don\u2019t act in terms of useful versus useless; balance is the key!

It is a tremendous paradise full of contrasts; its landscapes are otherworldly, the atmosphere there is so different from anything we\u2019ve seen in Romania. Iceland is always spectacular.

In Romania most of the birds are afraid of us; a fawn would run away and hide if it saw a photographer. In Iceland, even if you don\u2019t wear any camouflage gear, birds and animals seem to be unintimidated by humans. It is quite easy to get close to them and if you blend in and keep quiet, they let you stay around. I recall a pleasant encounter on a tourist trail: a bird flew so close to me, trying to deliver the message that I was trespassing her territory, that I could only photograph her head, although I was carrying the wide \/ landscape lens. To me this means the people of Iceland live in perfect symbiosis with the fauna, unlike our fellow Romanians.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;575157&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;134245&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;212700&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Please describe 2023 in one sentence.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;613939&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]2023 has been a remarkably good year that has brought unexpected joy and unforgettable experiences.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;422023&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;196395&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;615505&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]As a photographer, what do you expect from 2024?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;579562&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]I don\u2019t make resolutions photography-wise.

They are obvious! The landscape has changed, the animal behaviour and the weather are, by all means, proof that climate change has had an impact on the environment. The changes have affected the natural cycles and the balance of local ecosystems.

In summer there\u2019s extreme heat, a challenge for those species that need shelter and a fresh water source. Some species are not migrating anymore. So yes, the changes are obvious and we, the humans, out of sheer greed and lack of interest, are denying how vulnerable our ecosystems are to climate change and we choose not to take immediate conservation measures to preserve what\u2019s left of our environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;122782&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;292802&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;338939&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]How do you take care of the environment?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-prif&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;349623&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]I do a lot of things.

I am an involved citizen: I bring it to the attention of local authorities if I see a place has turned into a garbage dump in my attempt to minimize the negative impact of our species on the environment. As I frequently wear camouflage when I walk outdoors, in the wild, some people think I am a forest ranger, therefore I profit and scold them for any constant abuse or try to lecture and educate the ones who care enough to listen.
