Nature Photography: Five Tips For Great Photos That Sell.

Nature photography is increasingly popular, and digital cameras allow anyone to give it a try. There are so many nature photographers out there these days, it is a real challenge to get your work noticed.

If you want to make some money from nature photography, or even make it your living, your photography must offer something special. It is not enough for your photos to be 'good.' There is more than enough 'good' photography out there already. Your photos need to be unique and distinctive, or they simply won't be noticed.

Here are five tips to help you rise to the challenge.

Nature Photography Tip #1. Concentrate On Nature, Not Just Technology. In the digital age there is an increasing emphasis on the latest technology; so much so that some people tend to rely on the camera (and the computer) to do the work for them. While it is understandable that people are drawn to photography by their love of technology, good nature photography really requires a more old-fashioned approach.

Understanding the light is paramount. You really need to learn how to capture your photo in the best possible light, which means picking the ideal weather conditions, and the right time of day for each subject. Spending time observing the light and how it works in a photo will make you a much better photographer than someone who thinks technology is the key to good photography.

There Will Come Soft Rains

Field-flowers

I'll be slowly phasing out the daily photo in this blog as I have moved over to Aminus3.com which really is the best free photo blog environment around. I would therefore invite you to update your bookmarks and follow me there: http://hoshisato.aminus3.com/.
I'll continue to use this blog for travel, technical subjects and miscellaneous.

The title of my photoblog comes from the poem by Sara Teasdale which was used in a fabulous short-story by Ray Bradbury.

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

©1920, Sara Teasdale.

Close-up of a water lily in the pond in the Waterperry Gardens. A very nice place to visit and I'll be posting some more photos that I took in the days to come. Yesterday's photo was also taken there.

Water lilies

Water lilies in a pond on the golf course in Denham. What to do if your golf ball ends up on top of one of the leaves? Would you play it?

10/25/07: Fall pictures…

What photographer doesn’t enjoy taking pictures of the explosion of color in fall foliage? And what photographer / parent (or grandparent) doesn’t enjoy taking pictures of their kids at play?

Fall is a great time to get good pictures of kids playing in those falling / fallen leaves. You should try taking a variety of images using both fast and slow shutter speeds, as well as try backlit images (where you are shooting toward the sun…BUT DON’T LOOK AT IT! :) )

Here are some samples…

slow shutter & backlit

fast shutter and front-lit
