3 things from Digital Nature Photography!

1. The dehaze filter is better than life itself.
2. The ProCam app on the iPhone and Cold weather drains your battery...FAST
3. Diagonal lines are more attractive than vertical lines.

Nature Photography Across the world!

https://www.naturescapes.net/articles/tag/location/

Here is a link to an article about the best places for Nature Photography. This is very interesting to look at some very unique places to travel and photograph beautiful scenery. I would love to visit some of these places to try to capture their beauty. But nature photography does not really depend on the place it depends on the being in the right place at the right time, where wind, rain, sun, etc., come into factor. And as we know it is very uncommon for everything to line up at once!

Editing BEFORE vs. AFTER

My favorite blog posts seem to be pre and post editing photos. It is truly impressive how an okay picture can become something amazing from a few simple edits. Here is the before and after editing photos for my picture that went to print. I almost forgot how far the photo had come until I just placed these photos next to each other and analyzed the original photo. I am quite happy with how the editing on this photo ended up.

Same place landscape // but two very different images!


**Here are two images of the same landscape of a wheat field but one has the background in focus while the other has the background blurred. I like how the first image seems to let the viewer look at the image as a whole landscape going into the background as it follows the wheat back. And I also appreciate how the second image seems to let the viewer focus on the wheat alone while almost ignoring the background of the hill, the mountain, and the sky.

Animal Comedy Photography

It is always exciting to capture some amazing photos of nature and wildlife, but these photos show how it can be fun to catch animals in funny situations.

Slide 14 of 20: 
  "Unlike most other marine mammals, sea otters have no blubber and
  rely on exceptionally thick fur to keep warm. As the ability of
  the fur to repel water depends on utmost cleanliness, sea otters
  spend much of their time (while they are not sleeping or eating)
  grooming, offering photographers an unlimited number of
  anthropomorphic opportunities."

This image was the Affinity Photo People's Choice Award: "Oh My" by Harry Walker and for good reason before I even saw that this was the people's choice award this was by far my favorite image this cute little sea otter has the best expression!
