I'm no expert... but I would say spend some time observing rather than just framing shots. You may discover some startling little things you hadn't noticed at first.

Seriously again... Nature is a huge `category`. Can you narrow down what your interest is in? What part of `nature` are you interested in shooting? Mountains and lakes? Insects and plants? Moss and fungi? |

i agree with setzler. he makes it sound easy, though. lol.
i shoot semi-randomly, 5 shots at a time. or try to, when my camera works. (i lost a good 20 shots yesterday to a smartmedia card that decided not to work)

before you do start shooting...just step back and take it all in, kick back and relax, You know take time to stop and smell the roses. This will open up your senses before you put the camera up to your face and you will get some good shots.

I think this is a little simplistic. You need to take pictures, but you also need to study the result, and also, have an understanding of what you wish to achieve.
If you are really interested in nature photography, start reading outdoor photographer.
Also, find a spot that you think is beautiful, and photograph it like crazy, with different lenses or zoom settings, different exposure settings, at different times of day, and under different types of sky.
If you read Outdoor Photographer, you can learn about different filters, such as warming filters or graduated neutral density filters, and how they are properly used.
By examining what you like and don't like about your own photos, and knowing what look you are after, you will develop on eye for the proper settings and lighting conditions.

| If I ever get a REALLY good shot, I just might blame it on Setzler :) |
