Photography is light. An image is taken by reflected light coming through the open shutter, bouncing off mirrors and sensors buried internally in the camera, and burning an image on a film, or in the case of an electronic camera, the picture digitally manifesting and processing the image from a sensor. So how can we employ this light for our own photographic endeavors? Nature photographers don't use fake lighting, or fill lighting, flash or high output umbrella lights.We use the sun, the shadows and the natural bending and curving of the land before us. We as photographers have to see the shadows and the highlights and bring them down so that the camera can render this and put it on film for many millions of people to see what we saw. That is what photography is, letting the picture tell the tale. We will use natural light by timing the picture.

Take a day and scout out the area the day before you intend to shoot. Naturally, you can take one or two pictures to remember where these special locations are when you come back the day after. Know what time the sun rises and the time the sun sets, these come in useful for tracking down the "sweet light. " I was taught to do that by my granddad and he always turned out with the best photography and he is passing it down to me.

After you see the locations you would like to picture in the harshest light of the day, return to your place or hotel and get over it till dusk. At dusk, head out to one of the locations you selected during the daytime and set the picture up, take in composition, aperture and the rest that goes through a photographer's mind at the time the shutter snaps. When the sun goes down just far enough to make those long, dark, drawn out shadows, snap the picture. You can see some excellent turn-outs by utilizing this technique.

If you do not like the photos when you get back and load them up on the PC, get out there in the morning and follow the same routine. Photography is all about light, particularly in nature photography and landscape photography. Me, being a fine art cameraman since I was just about 8 years old, being only taught by my granddad, I know a couple of things about photography but I am always parched for more. I've taken some good footage and many bad photographs but a big part of photography is random test. Good luck and I only wish you the best luck in photography!
