Proof you can teach yourself to take great nature photos.

I am a naturalist and a former biologist, who has a lifelong love of the outdoors and all of its inhabitants. For most of my adult life, I have dabbled with nature photography until it finally became a dominant passion in my life. I do not present myself as a professional nature/wildlife photographer even though I have had success with my efforts. I am self-taught and stand as an example that anyone can learn to create high-quality nature photographs. It all starts with taking pictures and educating yourself just like I did. The photos here are proof it can be done.
