Nature
Natural history photography encompasses a hugely diverse range of subjects, many of which require specialised techniques or equipment in order to capture a striking image. The main requirement, however, is a good knowledge and understanding of that subject. Here is a selection of images from my collection showing mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and wildflowers from around the world.
