Nature Photographer is a “how–to” magazine,

published quarterly in print form, intended for nature photographers and nature enthusiasts who range from beginners to professionals. We will help you channel your intense interest in nature photography into more successful trips into the natural world, whether they be for the day, weekend, holidays or vacations. This is the magazine for those of you interested in photographing the wilderness—in far-off destinations, in local parks or in your own backyard.

Nature photography is all about getting out there and being a part of our natural world. Jack London’s outlook on life might serve us well as nature photographers. When in nature working on our photography, it would be quite helpful to entirely immerse ourselves in what we are doing. In order to do that, we need to practice the techniques needed to consistently produce quality images and research the locations that will appeal to each of us the most. We at Nature Photographer hope to help you along that route with both the print magazine and this web site. Our quarterly journeys will include:

• How to photograph—from close-ups to wildlife to grand landscapes and seascapes.
• How to use specialized equipment.
• Detailed natural history information.
• Field techniques.
• New product information and equipment reviews.
