My own website!

Welcome on my website and my first blog post!

My name is Ronald Smit and I am an ecologist from the Netherlands. I have a passion for wildlife photography and I wanted to have a platform to share my photography. After quite some time thinking about it, I have finally got around to making a website! Here I will show some of my favourite photos.

I have studied and worked in Norway, Italy and Iceland, so I plan on showing many photos from these places. I live and work in a beautiful part of the Netherlands, so expect many photos from the Netherlands as well!

Why not just Instagram?

You might be asking: why not just show some photos on Instagram for instance? I do this as well (so be sure to follow me!), but a website gives me more freedom to share what I want to share.  

Whales

I have studied Marine Ecology, with a focus on marine mammals. My travels abroad were heavily centred around whales. In Norway I studied harbour porpoise occurrence in a tidal current. In Italy I studied the activity of whale watching boats. And in Iceland I worked as a whale watch guide. So be sure to expect the occasional whale photo here!

Videos

I don’t make videos often, but I have made a few. I am excited to share them here as well! Be sure to check this website in the end of December 2020…

Work in progress

This website is still a work in progress, so be sure to check it out every so often!
