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.
Why do I shoot handheld? - I will try to explain here the reasons behind my decision. I must clarify that using a tripod is essential in specific photography situations. Depending on environmental conditions, lighting, and subject. I'm referring, of course, to manual photography. Particularly in CLOSE UP and MACRO shots where the automatic mode is seldom used.
Butterflies, those delicate and mesmerizing creatures, have long been a subject of fascination for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Their intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and graceful flight make them perfect subjects for photographers seeking to capture the beauty of the natural world. However, in the digital age, where authenticity is constantly under scrutiny, the realm of butterfly photography is not immune to challenges, particularly the rise of fake videos on platforms like YouTube.
Butterflies are among my favorite subjects to photograph. The reasons are easy to understand. However, capturing them in photos and finding them in nature is not so straightforward. Photographing these beautiful insects from the Lepidoptera family is truly challenging.
