We’ve spent much of the last five weeks learning about nature photography and how to make better nature images. Here are the winning images of two prestigious nature photography competitions which should offer inspiration. Don’t be discouraged by a thought that ‘I’ll never take great images like that’. These images will give you a notion of the quality of work that is chosen, that way when you are standing in from of something truly spectacular, you’ll know not only to capture the image, but to enter the competition.

It also supports a network connection but the wireless connectivity and GPS geotagging will require optional accessories. Read more about it on the Canon site.

You will remember our friend in Boston, Lou Jones, who visited PSRI a couple of years ago and made a very interesting presentation on using speedlights (or speedlites). He is running a contest with a chance to win good prizes. They range from Lowe Pro bags to copies of his books. It is easy to participate if you have a twitter account. See the details on Lou’s blog and support your local photographer. I have just done it, easy as pie …
