Nature Photography: Basic Kit
The Main just of this chapter in the Nature Photography book was talking about the basics of a good photography camera and maybe some essentials that could be needed. Something I found interesting that was mentioned and I hadn’t known before is that in order to have a clear calendar size picture or larger, you need a camera over 6.0 megapixels or more. Something else mentioned that the author recommend any nature photographer has after first acquiring the camera is a nice tripod for extra stability during the shot. For shooting landscapes, the book recommends either a Cannon or Nikon with full frame sensors. The chapter gives me a good basis where to start in looking for a decent camera maybe for the future.

Brian Jorg is a Horticulturist who has worked for the Cincinnati zoo and Botanical Garden since 2004. His passion is taking photos of the outdoors and has had much of his work published in many different magazines, books, field guides, post cards and more. Brian dedicates more than 20,000 miles a year to take photographs in various places such as Alaska, Newfoundland, The Galapagos and many more foreign continents. In my search I found Some pictures that photographer Brian Jorg had taken of a Mexican wolf that caught my interest. What I liked most about the shots were the clarity in which they came out, but also how natural the wolves look in the camera shots. They are not looking toward the camera and instead had their attention set on whatever the wolf would naturally be doing. The shots of the wolves were in their natural settings, and the attention was not set on the distraction of the photographer himself. To me, catching the wildlife in its natural everyday routine, much like Brian Jorg has done with his pictures of the wolves is just as unique as catching a photo of something lying on the ground in such a way that you will never see again. From what I see in these pictures, him nor anyone else will ever get those same shots.
