About me

Welcome to my new site; Sampimon Outdoor Photography. My name is Otlis Sampimon and I live in Hellendoorn in the eastern part of the Netherlands where I’am a Veterinary Manager by profession. My hobby is photographing nature close to home in my local patches Reggedal and Wierdenseveld with a preference for (intimate) landscapes and macro.

My journey

My photography journey started in 2003, when my wife urged me to find a hobby beside my regular work as a researcher in veterinary science which is also a “hobby” of mine. From my early age I could be found in the nature reserves around my hometown Hellendoorn and Nijverdal and that was for me an excellent challenge to try to capture this beauty also photographically. My photography journey started with a compact camera and has been evolved in a few years to a full frame DSLR from Canon.

passion

Besides (intimate) landscapes I have a great love for macro and close-up photography especially dragonflies and butterflies. Recently I started also to use ICM (Intensional Camera Movement) and multiple exposure to capture trees in my local patch “Het Reggedal”. This, for me new way of photography is still work in progress.

holidays

In addition to my local patch, we regularly spent the holidays, before the pandemic, in France on the Opal coast to capture seascapes or in Scotland to enjoy the lochs and the mountains of the highlands. I will also share these images with you on my site.

accounts

Regularly I want to provide you with additional information belonging to my images and I will try to write this down in my Blog.

You can also click through to my Facebook and my Instagram account. I wish you a lot of viewing pleasure and hope you come back regularly to my site to follow my photography experiences in nature.
