Seen--and photographed--at Big Rock Park

Sunset and sunrise hours and sightly overcast days are best for photographing nature. Overhead sunlight creates harsh highlights and dark shadows.

Learn bird language to create more opportunities. Understanding that wildlife are attuned to the behavior and nervous system expression of birds allows you to explore nature in a way that keeps the birds calm and thus increases chances of seeing wildlife. 



Learn more about your subjects beforehand . This allows you to take more ecological photos and save time. 

A quick outing with the camera to take a couple of photos is better than nothing. A lot of us can't go on grand expeditions or sit and wait for hours for a shot. Taking the time to stop and connect is always beneficial. 

Cameras are tools for changing the way we see nature. They also connect us to nature by increasing imagination, sensitivity, and experience. Photographers get to see and share nature in different ways. 


These are all tips passed on by photographer Kayla Lindquist as she started her class on a journey into nature photography.

The group spent time watching and experiencing. And of course, they visited the rock.
