Jakob Sig's photostream |
I'm from Iceland. Currently I am studying electrical engineering at the University of Iceland.
My passion is bird photography. Most of my photos of birds are taken with a Canon 1D2 and a 500mm lens, some of my older shots are taken with a 10D and 200mm lens.
I have many more photos of birds on my web page. The bird names there are in nine languages. All of my photos are geotagged and I use the google maps API to show the location of each photo. I have also implemented a search function that can search for bird names and locations. Most of the photos are of Icelandic birds, but I also have photos from the US and Sweden.

Desert Vu says:
"Jakob's images are natural, beautiful, full of life, and technically excellent. His tern flight shots are great, and he has one of finest owl flight shots I've ever seen. His birds are reflected in the soft, low angle sun of Scandinavia, especially the otherworldly light of Iceland. This guy is a very, very good bird shooter.
Added April 2007: And lately he has shown what a great bird sketching artist he is also. Truly versatile."26th April, 2007
