Landscape Photography

Nature Photography

Nature photography refers to 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.

Most of these pictures were taken during worldwide hiking holidays  by  photographer  Frank Tschöpe!  His  favorite regions are Iceland and Patagonia!

Wildlife Photography

Wildlife  photography  is  the  act  of  taking  photographs  of wildlife.  Wildlife  photography  is  one of  the  more challenging forms of  photography.  As  well  as  needing sound  technical  skills,  such as  being  able  to  expose correctly, wildlife photographers generally need good field craft  skills. For example,  some  animals  are  difficult  to approach and thus  knowledge of the animal's behavior is needed  in  order  to  be  able  to  predict  its  actions. Photographing some species may require stalking skills or the use of a hide/blind for concealment.
