Flowers are amazing this time of year (see below)!<br><br><\/li><li>Make sure you and the living things you photograph are safe.  Photograph from a safe distance and make sure not to harm what you photograph.<br><br><\/li><li>Nature photography is different from taking a selfie or a portrait of a person.  You are the photographer, but you are not in the picture.<br><br><\/li><li>Try to keep the sun out of the picture.<br><br><\/li><li>Be patient, be still and be quiet.  Sometimes it takes a while for an animal to decide to look in your direction or even look up.<br><br><\/li><li>Walk around a little.  Photograph from different angles and pay attention to what is in the background.  It makes a difference.<br><br><\/li><li>Have fun!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/6144\/5970673270_2ae5c0b1f5.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>The beauty of small things.  <br>Photo by Mr. Tanenbaum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Nature Photography project has come to a close.
