Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors to display the natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, birds and insects.
Wildlife photography is all about capturing interesting animals in action, such as eating, fighting or in flight. Normally in wildlife photography, wide apertures are used to achieve a faster shutter speed, freeze the subjects motion and blur the backgrounds, while a landscape photographers prefers smaller apertures. Wildlife photographers would normally be shot with a long telephoto lens from a great distance and a tripod is usually necessary, as the longer the lens, the harder it is to hold. To photograph insects, a macro lens is required, as this lens gets close up and personal with the subject that you are trying to capture. You get to see detailed images of wings, legs, eyes and markings. Images also good for the macro lens are leaves, tree bark and stones. Tiny plants or mushrooms also make for interesting images. Macro photography is something that I love, so there will more than likely be quite a few macro images amongst my work.
