My Lessons from capturing Nature

One power photography gives is the licence and ability to capture moments that people in the course of carrying out their normal activities would miss. Nature is bursting with such moments and i always try as much as possible to have my camera with me or even my phone. In such moments ones  skill as a photographer is greatly tested as well as his overall temperament. It does take a lot of patience for example to capture a butterfly in flight or on a petal.

Nature on its own is very captivating we all agree, what is even more enthralling  about it all as well is sequence and order of things in nature itself. What do i mean you may ask, well the miracle of conception and timeliness of child birth is one example, although there are slight variations resulting from complications it is almost certain that child birth happens after about 9 months after conception. There is also the timeliness and accuracy of sunrise and sunset with variations depending on the time of the year and weather but therein also exist some semblance of order.

I am a believer in the fact that everything has its place, its time and that when there is order and an understanding of it and in this case i mean order in the place we are in the totality of things, the order we are in our families, the order of nations in the world as well as the order in religion and beliefs. An orderly society is one hallmark of a functioning one. The best organisations in the world work in a system of order in hierarchy, functions and projects from inception to realization.

As i go around capturing nature, i discover for myself that one of the reason nature is so mesmerizing is because of its orderliness. There then may be lessons from nature for mankind and the way we run our affairs.If you have had the privilege

of watching the sun rise or set in its totality, you would appreciate and understand my ramblings herein. While we are at that please enjoy some shots captured on my nature watch.
