The Crowe RiverIf one word could sum up how I feel about nature photography and what I believe it can impart to others, it is Conservation. Conservation is so important to the environmental movement, but is largely ignored by politicians and governments. Without the land the wildlife will eventually go extinct. Without the habitat to raise their young, wild animal numbers will continue to plummet around the world. I do not want to sound like the bringer of doom , but report after report is announced on the news channels, and in the papers on a weekly basis about the environmental degradation that is occuring around the world. Sometimes it makes you wonder if anyone is really listening.
The reason I started to photograph nature is firstly because I love it. I need to be able to walk freely where there is no noiseDurham Region at Sunset or light pollution from the city. To be able to see that hawk, falcon or moose in the wild is a fantastic experience that I want to be able to pass on to my daughter and on to her children, as my father passed it on to me.
After learning about lenses and exposure, I am now able to take the photos that I have always wanted to. These photos I hope will inspire others to see the wilderness for what it is, Sacred.
You may not have a spectacular place like Banff National Park close to you, it may be a local conservation area or something larger like a Provincial or State Park; each and every one of these areas are important in their own way. Please approach them with the respect that they deserve. Nature is there for all of us to enjoy and protect, not to destroy.
