Since the invention of photography approximately 180 years ago, many photographers have found nature to be an endless supply of photographic opportunities. From landscape, wild life, and macro, to abstract and fine art, there is definitely a wide range of possibilities for getting great images in natural outdoor environments. Best of all, there is no need for fancy lighting equipment or a studio. All you need is a decent camera (preferably an SLR with manual controls), a sturdy tripod, and your hiking boots. Everything else is really up to your own imagination.

In this tutorial, I will discuss my own photographic approach during my weekend excursion through California's Monterey Bay Area. This lesson is structured chronologically to give you a sense of how I planned my weekend to maximize the range of photographic possibilities.
In many ways, producing this lesson was a self assignment. The main goal was to develop a well rounded photo essay about a specific geographic location within a limited amount of time. This lesson is best suited for those photographers who are interested in developing their own unique way of seeing and photographing the natural environment.
