Fine Art Nature Photography

The truly amazing thing about fine art nature photography is what it provokes and inspires. You see an image of something truly majestic and it makes you feel like you are actually there - you feel like a part of that photograph - you are in awe of its wonder. And that is the impression photographers wish to instill on everyone and anyone who see their work. Impressions that fine art nature photography makes on an individual is as subjective as the photography itself. If three people look at the same fine art photograph, the impressions they have may be quite different. This photography can make a bad impression on one person, a good impression on the other person and the third person's impression could be indifferent. Take a photo of a duck in its natural habitat. One person looks at it and immediately comments how beautiful the colorings in the duck's wings are. How the duck's reflection is so crisp and clear that it look as though another duck was swimming right next to him. The droplets of water that cling to the body of the duck looks like small diamonds nestled against the warm brown coloring of the duck's feathers. Now, the second person looks at the fine art nature photo of the duck and comments that the water looks dirty and the duck seems to be unhappy and lonely. And the third person may simple shrug their shoulders and say... "it's a duck." The fine art nature photographer definitely hopes that his photography makes more of an impression than a simple shrug of the shoulders and a comment like, "it's a duck." But that's the beauty of how nature photography leaves its impression - open, honest and subjective. And for nature enthusiasts, this photography becomes part of their life. If you love whales, you are drawn to these art nature photos because of its raw power and realism - as opposed to an interpretation in paint or sculpture. Fine art nature photography takes the viewer to that place. If you look at a photograph of waves crashing against jagged rocks long enough, you feel like you are there - you can almost feel the breeze, smell the salt water and hear the sounds of the water the moment it hits the rocks. That is the impression nature photography is intended to give. People are impressed by places they never go to or simply can't go to. They are impressed by photos of a wild animal so close; they can almost touch the fur. And they are impressed by the beauty and raw power fine art nature photography offers. Fine art nature photographs are incorporated into our lives by covering the walls in our homes, used as our favorite savers on our computer screens, even centered on the T-shirts we wear with pride. Impressions of fine art nature photography - whether good, bad or indifferent - allows us to form our own opinions about what we like and dislike. They make an impression that is everlasting.
