Several years ago, a friend showed me what was involved in serious nature photography, particularly macro, and I was hooked on a new and different way to take pictures. But in the process I learned to look at nature in a new way, becoming aware of the fine details of things, and what can be found on the forest floor or meadow if you just slow down and look. That awareness changed the way I walk through the woods and fields with or without a camera, watching each step to avoid crushing a flower, mushroom, or some small critter, and in the process seeing so many more interesting things that most people never notice.

I to agree there is nothing like getting out in nature and waiting for that perfect timing to catch a critter or bird at just the right moment. Being ever so quiet and still. Hiking along a trail,spotting a new wildflower or just an old stump makes the outing well worth it not to forget what great exercise it is too.
