Wouldn't you like to get outside and photograph the world around you? I was recently inspired by the latest edition of South Carolina Wildlife, which contains beautiful photographs submitted by amature and advanced photographers across the state. Those pictures took my breath away.

Not only were they beautiful, the pictures looked like they were fun to take as well...the beach at sunrise, a dog splashing through the water, wading birds, and very small insects on blooming flowers.

You can find more inspiration by checking out some books on nature photography. A short list of new books is below. Enjoy.
