It has been our observation that most great nature photographers were naturalists, to some degree, prior to becoming photographers. The camera, to a naturalist, is a means of recording and sharing an emotional response to the outdoors. The art of nature photography becomes the naturalists ability to transfer an emotional response comprised of 360 degrees of outdoors filled with sounds, smells, textures, and an infinite number of views onto a two dimensional print. The process is developed over many years and requires emotional focus, artistic inclinations, knowledge and appreciation of nature, and an understanding of the photographic tools, namely, light, cameras, and film.

Our favorite recipe for a successful nature photograph is to pick a well-known subject and portray it in a different way. Our photographs receive the most attention if the viewer can easily identify the subject and it is our technique that makes him look again and again. Butterflies are some of the most widely known and easily recognizable animals in the world, but few have seen these creatures though a macro lens. Their active behavior, irregular flying pattern and a large circle of safety are just some of the reasons, making them a difficult target. However, if everything goes right, the results can be very rewarding.

With today's high-tech pro cameras and IS and VR lenses, learning to take perfectly sharp, expertly exposed photographs is a snap. There are thousands of technically perfect photographs in print and on the web and it seems there are as many talented amateurs emerging every day. But there is a notable difference in the work of a photographer who takes the time to think about the composition of their image. The composition sets the mood for the shot and tells the story. Compositions can be used to evoke powerful emotional responses in a viewer, a goal for many photographers, but something that is achieved by few.

Pinhole photography is lensless photography. A tiny hole replaces the lens. Light passes through the hole; an image is formed in the camera.

Taking close-up pictures of small things is called "macro photography." We have no idea why. Perhaps because the small things in macro photography are generally larger than the things you are taking pictures of when doing "micro photography". If you really want to be pedantic then you should say you are doing "photomacrography".
