Hello there! I am so excited to be part of Traveling Tuesdays this week! Let me introduce myself...

I am Yolanda, the teen photographer and blogger behind Peanut Butter and Jelly. My little space in the blogosphere where I share my love for nature and random tidbits from my days.

Today I will be sharing some of my favorite photos and tips for nature photography. I hope you enjoy!

Take Lots Of Pictures

My biggest tip, is take a ton of pictures! If I take 100 pictures and only 50% turn out good, thats okay!. Whatever you are taking pictures of, take more then one.

If the scene is beautiful, the camera can't help taking a really good picture! Just make sure the whole picture isn't too busy.

Macros

When taking macros, make sure your lens is clean! Too many times I have not noticed that there is something on my lens and then my pictures turn out blurry or a little bit grubby looking.

Taking up close shots is one of my favorite things too do and I am so happy when they turn out well.

Lowlight

Consider using a tripod! This picture turns out pretty well considering I didn't use a tripod. But it was 6:30 in the morning after pulling an all-nighter so I didn't have the energy to take it out.

For the 4th of July I was still a newbie to photography and out of the 200+ pictures I took, not a whole lot of them turned out well. So next time I am going to be using my tripod!
