It’s so rare that I shoot nature photography. I never seem to be able to find something that I like enough, or is abstract enough, or has enough character to shoot. I find people so much more interesting to photograph. So much character. Human emotions are something interesting all by themselves and capturing that is so much fun. But I’m always looking for ways that I can branch out a little bit, and expand my photography. Now I don’t think I’m going to get into the business of selling nature photographs anytime soon, but nature photography has its own challenges. For me my main problem is deciding on a subject. A flower is a perfect example. It’s obvious what the subject is. My problem is finding that subject in an interesting setting. something that makes that subject stand out. I find myself taking pictures of dead flowers a lot more than living ones. Somehow a dead flower tells a story. I can’t always say that for living things.
