Before you start nature photography, you must have the correct lenses and cameras to take close up pictures. Most cameras do a fine job of taking landscape photography, however if you plan on photographing wildlife animals you may need a zoom lens since you will probably not be able to get as close as you would like without scaring the animal off.
Macro photography is the photographing of small objects usually shot very close up. Examples would be such things as blades of grass, insects, and small flowers. Some cameras have a built-in setting that allows them to take very good pictures close up, while some need special lenses to take close-up shots. With the right tools, macro photography can be very rewarding. Macro photography does require more patience. This is especially true when photographing small animals or insects that won't stay still. Just remember, patience and persistence does pay off. If you are photographing outdoors the wind can play a role in the quality of your photos. This is because when you're zoomed in so close, even very small movements can be exaggerated causing your picture to be blurred. To compensate for this extra movement, you can purchase various accessories for your camera. They will help stabilize the flowers or plants especially in the more windy conditions. They usually clip onto the tripod and then gently hold your subject in position. To compose a great nature photograph, you must begin by selecting a subject. Do you find beauty in the sun shining through a leaf or do close-ups of insects make you happy? If you chose plants, you only need to wait for the lighting to be right, which depends on the feel you're looking for. If you chose insects, you must wait to come across one that is fairly cooperative. See our Wildlife Photography article for information on photographing animals. To compose the best picture, put your camera on a tripod or hold it straight. A crooked picture will make you look inexperienced, while a straight picture will make the photo look professional, so even if it is on a tripod, make sure it is level. To do this, aim you camera at something like a porch step or even a tree trunk, and see if it looks straight. A great tripod will come with a built-in level to make this super easy. If it doesn't, you can by one to snap on or use your guidelines to help find something straight in your photo to match up to. These tips will assist you in leveling your tripod and greatly improve the quality of your photographs. After this, you can begin taking pictures. After you have practiced with your camera, try to take a nature picture that shows a feeling, such as joy or serenity. You might see the bright sun reflecting off of a window as joy, while the sun melting on top of the ocean may be viewed as serenity. Try different lighting options or color filters to give your photo a different personality or capture an emotion of the scene. Practice with your camera enough and you will think to yourself, "Wow! I can't believe that I took that picture!" Once you get even better, you can sell your photography, make large prints to hang on your wall or put your photos on a card, mug, pillow, etc. You will be rewarded with a smile and admiration from friends, family, and all viewers.
