These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Not long after this shot a Sandstorm rolled in and turned day into night. Thankfully he knew his way back to camp with his eyes closed and we are still trying to get the sand out of every thing.
