Winning the National Championship was more important than ever for me. In 2015 the CMAS 15th World Championship of Underwaterphotography will take place in the Netherlands. A fantastic event that I really don\u2019t want to miss. Only 2 underwaterphotographers can represent the Netherlands. To qualify, one must win the National Championship Underwaterphotography in one of the 2 years before the event. In this case 2013 and 2014. Winning the championship in 2013 is my ticket to the World Championship 2015\u2026.YES, I\u2019m in 🙂<\/p>\n

Conditions during the competition days we\u2019re not ideal. I had some really nice photo\u2019s in my head which I tried the weeks before the competition, but the visibility and algues forced me to change plans. All worked out quite well after-all\u2026you just can\u2019t control nature 😉<\/p>\n

Category Fish portrait: 1st place
\nCategory Macro: 2nd place
\nCategory Wide Angle with model: 3rd place
\nCategory Wide angle without model: 3rd place
\nOverall: 1st place<\/p>\n
