Tips for a winning photo
We spoke with a few professional photographers for some tips on how to take great photos out in nature.

Tips from Ben Goode
BEST TIPS FOR TAKING PHOTOS OF LANDSCAPES AND NATURE
Composition in my opinion is the most important thing. A well composed photo can sometimes survive bad light, bad settings and even bad editing - A badly composed photo survives nothing. Learn what great light is and don’t settle for less. Having an eye for good light will help your images no end. Try taking a photo of the same scene from afternoon through to sunset and you will see how much of an effect light can have on a scene.
Less is often more! Shoot and edit with that mentality. Leave space around your main subject and don't clutter the frame. It’s like a good pizza... less toppings = more taste.
Try and create a mood and tell a story with your photos. This comes from composition, editing and use of light and shade. Put thought into all three and the chances are you will have an image goes beyond a nice snapshot.
ADVICE FOR SELECTING PHOTOS FOR TNC'S PHOTO CONTEST
Spend time looking through your collection to shortlist a few of your best images. Get a photographer you respect to take a look at your choices and give you advice on what they think might do well in a competition. When choosing image, try and remove personal bias and attachment and look at your photos through critical eyes.
Less is often more! Leave space around your main subject and don't clutter the frame. It’s like a good pizza... less toppings = more taste.

Tips from Adrian Alford
Plan your shot – Start by visiting the location and considering angles of light at certain times of day. Phone apps can help you predict the best weather for your shot.
Start early – Try getting out of bed in the early hours of the morning. This time of day can reward you with not only beautiful images, but also the magic moments that nature has to offer in terms of sounds.
Research – When photographing wildlife, read up on your subjects. Find out what time of day they eat, what they like to eat, and locations where you might encounter the most activity.
Patience is the key! Waiting for your subject to arrive (or not arrive) can be testing. But trust me, the wait will be worth it!
Above all else, the most important thing is to just grab your camera and get out there and create. By working in nature's elements, good or bad, it will only make you a better skilled photographer as you learn to photograph the best of any situation. As I always say, never stop creating.
Getting the shots you’re chasing can be very satisfying. But the main thing is to not get disappointed if you don’t capture the images you wanted. It only means there is something better coming your way next time.
