Join OM System Pro Ambassador Lee Hoy as we examine Ten Myths about Nature Photography and we explore what it means to “Master Your Camera.” This episode will debunk popular myths that too many nature photographers believe are true which often leads to frustration, wasted financial resources, and missed images.
On the fourth episode of Capturing Nature, Lee will share seasonal photography tips for Big Bend National Park, his home base and favorite spot to photograph. Big Bend National Park is a huge park and the lone photographer can waste a lot of time not knowing what and when certain activities take place. Whether you are in pursuit of birds, wildlife, macro, landscape, Milky Way, or other photography subjects, Lee will give you a good foundation for photographing Big Bend.

Finally, the last segment of today’s podcast is “The Experience – Blending the Technical & Creative aspect of Nature Photography – The Difference between a Snapshot and an Image.” We will discuss the difference between a snapshot (where we simply record a place/people/event at a specific time to document where we were at a given moment) and an image.
