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.
