Beginners at digital photography are capable of producing excellent
nature images, as demonstrated in this comprehensive how-to guide to
important elements such as camera selection, understanding camera
settings, and learning specific techniques. By starting with basic
technical and artistic considerations like lighting and exposure, and
easing into brief lessons on landscapes, close-ups, and wildlife
imaging, amateurs can immediately advance into effective nature
photography. Novices can then focus on particular areas--maintaining
balance between natural elements and human subjects, positioning the
horizon within the frame of a landscape, and becoming familiar with
safety regulations in wild animal habitats.
