Advice for Nature Photography Beginners

Advice for Nature Photography Beginners

So part of my research I decided to look into advice for beginners on nature photography. The only part of nature photography I've done was in GCSE Photography. I came across this website that says what you will need, to be able to be on your way as a nature photographer.

So the first thing is 'do your homework before heading out'. What this is saying is you need to research where your going to go, what your filming, what time of day, weather etc.  As all of these are very important, preparing you for what to come.

The next thing is the right equipment. Like a camera, tripod, zoom lenses etc. Also you will have to be aware and prepared to use your gear, incase you have to set up quick and capture the object fast.

Next is you need to pack a bag to put all your equipment in as well as a drink and food. Also water proof things, like a coat, water proof covers and maybe a umbrella.

You've got to be comfortable as well, so wear a nice pair of hiking boots, so you can walk for several miles in them (if you need to). Otherwise your going to be stopping a lot more early then you planned.

This is a very important one, write a check list. Its always good to keep a note on what to film and where incase you forget. Check the weather for the next day before you set off, because it might be raining or have bad conditions.

Never forget the tripod! Its always good to bring the tripod with you, even if you don't think your'll need it, you never know what your going to see and what you might need it for. So be prepared for anything.

This is an interesting one, set your camera to capture images in a raw file format instead of a JPEG this is because JPEG's take up a lot of memory.

Its very important to bring a phone with credit because you never know when you might need to use it to call help. Also let someone know your going out, otherwise people will be worrying that he/she has vanished of the face of the earth.
