The First Step to Taking Really Good Nature Photos

Remember to take the camera.  That’s it.  This first step to taking good nature photos is to take the camera with you.  You will never get the perfect once in a lifetime shot if you are out in the woods and the camera is sitting at home an hour away.  Don’t even ask how many I’ve missed — like all of our eagle sightings.
