Good nature photography is not just about technology. It is about having the knowledge and skills to produce a great photo and going to the extra effort to make it happen.
Teaching nature photography has taught me a lot about the combination of art and technology required. Good photography takes just the right mix of camera skill, creativity, and hard work.
Half my time spent teaching is concentrated on the essential mechanics of good photography; aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lenses and so on. The rest of the time is focused on understanding natural light, and the techniques of good composition.

Equipment selection when taking photographs, can involve the budget, the kind of photography being done, if it is indoors or out, and many other factors, including whether or not to shoot digital of film.

Choosing the Ideal Equipment for any photography business is one of the first hurdles you will face. There are many factors to consider when choosing equipment. The first of course, is whether or not you should use digital or traditional film base equipment. And this depends in large part on the style of photography you will be involved with. Many photographers still consider that film has a much wider latitude in the available colors it can capture compared to digital.

Setting your digital camera to automatic is safe and comfortable, but does not give you creative control over your photos. Understanding how to use your camera in Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Manual modes is the first step to becoming a better photographer.
Digital cameras now come with so many features, almost everyone has the potential to become a creative photographer. Settings like aperture and shutter speed, once available only on ’serious’ SLR cameras, are now found even on compact digital cameras.

Movement effects are a great way to improve the impact of your photography. You may think it is just a simple matter of playing with shutter speed, but there is a little more to it than that.
In photography, the use of shutter speeds to control moving subjects may seem self-explanatory. But beginners be warned: there is more to this important skill than meets the eye.
The main principles of shutter speed and movement are easy to visualise. Your shutter is open for a certain period of time, and any movement that occurs during that time will be captured in the exposure. The longer you leave the shutter open and/or the faster the subject is moving, the more blurring will captured.
