PHOTOGRAPHY - NATURE

This type of photography is the capturing of beautiful and extraordinary images that can be found in the wildlife. It mainly consists of Plants, Insects and sometimes even includes the wildlife, depending on the chosen scenery. There are a couple different types of photography used when capturing images of nature. Some of those being;• LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY- This is mainly used when trying to pinpoint the

natural beauty that is in that certain location.• WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY- This is when the photographer focus’ primarily on

animals that life out in the wild. They tend to spend hours-on-end in the wildness aiming for the most incredible shots.

• UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY- This is used to expose the raw beauty that lives just beneath us, almost just out of our line of sight. Working with this type is challenging as you’re out of you’re comfort zone. It’s hard to capture a breathtaking photo is you don’t go underwater and see it first hand.

• SEASCAPE – When the photography focus’ on the seafront. All their images revolve around what can be found on a beach normally.

• CLOUDSCAPE – Photo’s are taken of clouds. These are more than likely taken in black and white as it give the images a more appealing and standout-ish affect.

The main focus of a Naturalistic photographer is to capture beautiful images of nature itself. It is most common to photograph wild animals, plants and flowers in their natural environment. Other forms of this photography include celestial bodies –Meaning the Sun, Moon and Stars; Insects and arachnids; and underwater creatures.

Aurora Borealis Moose Lake II

Jim Brandenburg’s work has a mixture of edited photographs and natural ones. The photograph, ‘Pond Reflection’ in our opinion is edited. The colouring of both the pond and the reflections with in it all seem to have been enhanced. The colouring is more prominent that it would be in real life, giving it that edited look. He’s main focus In the image Is the long grass and he’s managed to blur out the background slightly, that alone give the grass a more realistic look to it, the detail is more noticable.The editing of the image works well because it give the image character along with vibrant colours that easily draw attention to the piece.
