The first time I heard about the photo, I immediately came to mind the nature and wildlife. The reason for this is that during my childhood in television and documentaries I have seen only photographers who dedicated themselves to nature. Consequently, wildlife, nature and game reserves (i safar i) have become, for me, inseparable from the concept of photography itself, and when I started to be interested in first person, I understood why.

When I became interested in photography about 6 years ago, I had fixed for photographs on wild life and nature, but living in a big city rather gray, sometimes I am discouraged because I wanted to do was go to the countryside and stay in nature! Then, finally, one day I found myself in a place that you all know very well where there are birds in the trees, flowers dancing in the shadows below, land that contains living grass inhabited by monsters, dragonflies flitting over the water ... I was in my garden!

If you have a house with a garden, no matter big or small, explore, get down on grass level and you will notice a small world it inhabits. But how to get more exercise and get more people to your photographs?

Here are some simple steps

Attracting the life in your garden:

Some people can not afford to have birds and other creatures girovaganti for the garden, but there are a couple of things you can do to attract these creatures:

1. Buy a bird feeder, get some food for birds and hang it from a tree. Be sure to place it in an area where there are obstacles that prevent you from taking pictures.
2. Watered your plants and your bushes! If your plants are all dead no creature will wander around in your private jungle.
3. Every time you buy the fertilizer to help the growth of your plants and make sure that the ground will attract worms and other insects that the birds could munch on posing for photos.
4. Consider the idea of taking a drinking fountain for birds or small pond. This will allow you to attract dragonflies, which can be an excellent photographic subjects.

The tea-time

In a sunny, breezy Sunday morning, while eating breakfast, I noticed there was a great bustle in the grass, visible through the glass door of the residence. There were many birds prey to a feeding frenzy that made tea with the creeping things of the freshly cut grass. In a similar situation, my breakfast was waived, I took my camera and goals and I appostai quietly in the garden. I ended up with the lie on his stomach in the grass, which was slightly damp from the morning dew.

Sometimes you need a little dirty 'to take pictures, but everything can be cleaned later while your images are loaded on your machine. You may have to lay in a pile of garbage and dive down to his knees dirty water (make sure there are no crocodiles) .... this is what makes photography so exciting.
