About me | Contact
My name is Miklós Ónodi. I was born in 1967 at Pécs in Hungary. I’m living here, at the edge of the town, on the southern slope of Mecsek-hills, so near the forest. My childhood enthusiasm about nature caused several surprises for my family, by carrying home several snakes, frogs, giant spiders and other strange creatures. Later I accepted that creatures born wild must live wild. In 1984 with the first set of photo gear started nature photography and made the first notes in my birding diary. I acount myself to be a birdwatcher from that time. After few years I realized, I can learn more about the most interesting birds through a telescope, so photography, became only the tool to record my field observations. In 2002 my slr equipment changed owner by an unknown criminal. Since July 2004 with the new technics and great impulsion I have been capturing living nature in front of my scope by digiscoping. In January 2009 I’ve changed to dslr. I have been guiding nature photography and birdwatching tours since 1995, mainly in the Mecsek and Villány-hills and on the Dráva-plain, sometimes on other sites of Hungary. Equipment Canon EOS 450D body with Sigma 50-500 mm f:4-6.3 EX and Canon EF-S 18-55 mm f:3.5-5.6 IS lenses. Tripod: Manfrotto 055CLB, FalconEyes G1328. Head: Manfrotto 501HDV, 486RC2. My telescope is a Celestron Ultima 80 with Celestron 20-60x zoom eyepiece. For digiscoping I’m using Canon PowerShot A95. Fastening cameras to the eyepiece of the telescope I’m using a T2-EOS adapter for dslr and Soligor adapter tube with a Makszutov photoring for compact.
