Nature photography, as its name suggests is an outdoor form of photography which involves displaying of landscapes, wildlife, flora, close-ups etc. Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you ant to venture into this field:

• Bring the right equipment: Bring equipment to steady your camera, a tripod is the best thing to bring along to keep your camera steady. If you do not own one, you could always place your camera on rocks, ground or any other surface that is flat and sturdy.
• You do not need a fancy camera: A lot of us assume that to shoot great pictures, you must own a professional camera. It is true that these cameras capture some really amazing shots, but if you cannot afford a full-professional camera, you could always shoot on your camera phone. The cameras on our phones are advancing faster than ever, make full use of their potential.
• Don't get too close : If you are capturing pictures of animals, it is best to stand at a distance. This way the animal would not run away, and you'd get a gorgeous shot as well!
• Be patient : when you're capturing pictures of animals, it is necessary to remain calm and patient. It would help to understand their behaviour beforehand, so make sure to do some research before you go to capture pictures of that animal.
• Plan in advance : Make sure to bring all your necessary equipment along, this includes your hiking boots, sunglasses, coat, water etc. Let someone know where you're heading to.
• Find out what you are passionate about : Nature is made of so many components starting from tiny plants to gigantic mammals. Understand what you're passionate about. If you like birds, capture birds. If it is flowers that you are passionate about, capture flowers. This makes a huge difference in the final outcome of your venture. If you are unsure of what you like to photograph, try experimenting.
• Shoot in the mornings or in the evenings: Natural light definitely plays a huge role in how your photos turn out. In the afternoon, the sun is high up in the sky which results in your dark shadows around your subject. To avoid this, try shooting early in the morning or in the evening, a little before the sunset. This ensures there are light shadows and warm illumination in your photos.When your subject is frontlit, it’s illuminated well. You don't have to worry about harsh shadows.
• Make your subject you focal point : This means, you have to separate your subject from the back ground. This will need you to make a few adjustments. Adjust your apertue settings in order to get that soft, blurry background which will allow your subject to stand out more.
• Experiment with different angles : Try out different perspectives and angles to understand what you like the best. Make sure that it makes you happy. You could try out different angles by laying on the ground, shooting close-ups, shooting wide-ranges. Do something unconventional because if you want to stand out, you have to be different. Do not be afraid to experiment. Unleash your creativity!
• Respect the animals and their habitat : Do not disturb the natural habitats of the animals you're capturing. Remember, it is all they have. Do not litter, do not cut anything. Leave everything just as you found it. 
• Backgrounds : Most photographers often tend to ignore this aspect of the photo. The background is responsible to create the look and feel of the photo. Make sure to avoid distracting backgrounds, go for simpler, plain backgrounds to let your subjects stand out more.
• Compositions : Pay attention to the placements of different subjects in your frame. You want your subject to be the focal point of the picture, so ensure your frame isn't too crowded and distracting. Keep it neat and simple.
• Be careful : Be cautious of your environment, especially when you're shooting wildlife photos. Remain out of sight. Let the wildlife remain undisturbed, do not touch them or make any noise. They may disappear into the woods or worse, may attack you. Let nature do its thing while you do yours. Be patient and the right shot will present itself.
