Focus on Nature

Generally, a nature shot focusses on a particular subject, perhaps a bird, an insect, or a flower. To get a good image, it’s best that the subject in sharp focus, and often the use of automatic camera focussing is essential.

But even if it is a sharp image, there are some other strategies to help ensure the viewer will not simply glimpse at it and move on to the next image, but instead to linger and examine the image more closely.

First Outing – Wild Flowers

This was my first outing with the camera since the first slight easing of our COVID-19 lockdown. It allowed me to drive to the country park close by and get round it to see what was happening in nature there. I’d hoped for some nice shots of birds or insects but with a bit of a wind present, they were not so many of them out posing. So I’ve settled for a few images of some of the wild flowers, particularly in the section with ponds. There were one or two I don’t remember seeing before.
