Capturing & Sharing Nature’s Digital Beauty
Welcome to NaturePhotos.blog! I’m David Brady, a passionate nature photographer based in the breathtaking landscapes of Alberta, Canada. This blog is my way of sharing the incredible beauty I discover on my walks, whether it’s the quiet majesty of a forest, the grandeur of a mountain vista, or the fleeting glimpse of wildlife.
Like many of you, my journey into nature photography began with a simple setup – my first digital camera was an HP PhotoSmart 945. My second camera was a DSLR, a Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi and my third and current camera is another DSLR, the Canon EOS REBEL T2i. The T2i allowed video recording as I recall, something at the time I thought was cool.
My current simple setup, Canon Rebel T2i and just two versatile lenses (the 18-55mm and 55-250mm) has served me well in capturing images from landscapes to wildlife. I believe that you don’t need professional skills or expensive gear to capture stunning images; it’s about learning to see contrast or texture, understanding light or color, and finding joy in the process.
