"Nature photography" overlaps the fields of -- and
is sometimes considered an overarching category including -- "wildlife
photography,” "landscape photography," and "garden photography".
Nature photography is a wide range of photography taken
outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife,
plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. Nature photography tends
to put a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the photo than other
photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography.
Nature photographs are published in scientific, travel and
cultural magazines such as National
Geographic and National
Wildlife and Audubon or
other more specific magazines such as Outdoor
Photographer and Nature's Best
Photography. Well known nature photographers include Ansell Adams, Eliot
Porter, Francs and Lansing, Galen Roswell, and Art Wolfe.
Wildlife photography is all about capturing animals in their
natural habitats. The animals are often photographed in action, such as eating,
fighting, or in flight,. Alternatively, more static portraits may be used to
show detail of the animal or to depict it in its environment. Captive or
controlled animals are often photographed instead of true wild specimens,
although it is arguable as to whether this constitutes true wildlife
photography.
The world's largest photography organizations,the Photographic
Society of America, the Federation Internationals Art Photographic and the Royal
Photographic Society have agreed on a definition for nature and wildlife
photography that will be applied to photography competitions. The techniques of
wildlife photography differ greatly from those used in landscape photography.
For example, in wildlife photography wide apertures are used to achieve a fast
shutter speed, freeze the subject's motion, and blur the backgrounds, while
landscape photographers prefer small apertures. Wildlife is also usually shot
with long telephoto lenses from a great distance; the use of such telephoto
lenses frequently necessitates the use of a tripod (since the longer the lens,
the harder it is to handhold). Many wildlife photographers use blinds.
use of color:
Co-lour images are not a requirement of nature photography.

film for its bright, saturated colors, asking "Who wants to take dull
pictures that will last a hundred years both men distinguish between
photography as an expressive art form and endometriosis an accurate reproduction
is not necessary.
Ethics:
A number of ethical
concerns and debates surround the creation of nature photography. Common issues
involve the potential of stress or harm to wildlife the potential of photographers overrunning
and destroying natural areas, and veracity and manipulation in photography.
Also the information posted by photographers on social media of the location of
endangered species leads to poachers using this information to hunt these
animals.
