Nature Photography


Doing nature photography is totally a different experience, nature
with normal eye might look beautiful to normal people but after doing
photography for a considerable amount of time I find that nature is
everything and when you start seeing nature through the lens of your
camera it appears as an entirely different world. It has peace in it
and the experience of doing photography is magical.


 
When I do nature photography I find myself in a peaceful and relaxed
state, I forget every other aspect troubling in my mind or in other
words it disconnects myself from my real world. Nature through the
lens or our naked eye can be perceived in a wide range of forms,
colours, textures etc but when you capture it with camera, you feel
that you are doing painting or making graphic prints with your camera
where nature is the canvas and the light is your medium and your
camera the brush eg. Colours on the petals, texture of landscapes in
Ladakh. Giving them different meaning and a unique perception of the
photographer with the play of tricks in the camera.



Nature photography is almost like an act of meditation and one can
project ones unique view on this world through one’s photographs and
it also helps to express life as a totally different form on earth to
others. If anyone wants to see different life forms on earth, he can
shoot nature and can observe what new and different he gets in his
work as well as in his life.
