The term ‘outdoor photography’ can include a wide range of photographic genres. In this guide I’ll be concentrating on landscape and nature photography, which themselves can of course be highly varied! For me it’s this variety that helps to maintain my enthusiasm for photography, as well as continuing to encourage my creativity after almost 30 years in the business! I’ll begin with some tips to help you improve your landscape photography, including coastal scenes. I will also explain some of the techniques I use for shooting astro landscapes under the stars.

I’ll move on to methods for capturing better wildlife photographs, and finally I’ll suggest some tips and equipment to help you hone your close-up and macro photography abilities. With photographic equipment and software advancing all the time, there are always new skills to learn. Hopefully this feature will inspire you to get out and about with your camera as we pass from summer into autumn, when a whole host of amazing photographic opportunities will be presenting themselves in the countryside around us.

No matter where you live, there are always plenty of subjects to be found, from wide landscape vistas to the tiniest bugs and fungi in your garden.
