Why I Love Nature Photography

Nature photography has always been my favorite photography field. Growing up, I would explore the fields surrounding my home, photographing the sunsets and sunrises like clockwork.

Now, I still remain fascinated by the colors of the sky. When I travel to a foreign land, I hardly get any sleep because I stay up late to photograph the sunset. Then, I wake up early in the morning to snap a shot of the sunrise.

Hikers from around the world hope to experience “goraiko,” the heavenly sunrise from on top of Mt. Fuji. Although I had to wait hours in the cold to experience the pink hues, it was maybe my favorite sunrise ever.

How I Capture My Nature Photos

To get the most dynamic nature photos, I find myself climbing mountain peaks with my mirrorless camera in hand. I enjoy driving to lookouts and scenic viewpoints that are found in my national parks.

However, I prefer hiking miles to the edge of a cliff when taking my nature photos. The challenge of hiking to reach a viewpoint makes the photo even more beautiful, in my opinion.

What’s Next

National parks remain my favorite place to expand my nature photography portfolio. I have been to 31 national parks in the United States, and I have the goal to visit all 63 of them.

I will continue to travel the world, photographing nature’s wonder. I hope you will join me in my exploration. Let’s discover beauty in the most secluded places.
