Daniel Ewert Nature Photography
Welcome to my Daniel Ewert Nature Photography website. I have always enjoyed hiking and exploring God's creation and I am always amazed by the wildlife and landscapes that we have here in North America. The photos on this site are some of my top selections and represent some of the many beautiful places that I have been. Please check back often for new images. If you are interested in ordering a print, please click on the Purchase link.
Most of my photos are taken at dawn or dusk during the best light of the day. The vivid colors you see in many of my photos are the result of shooting long exposures in soft light. The vast majority of my photos are single exposures. On occasion, I will need to take two exposures of the same high contrast scene to manually blend together to cover the entire dynamic range of the image. Another exception is when I use a wide angle lens to take a landscape photo that includes the moon. I then have to shoot the moon with a longer focal length so that it is big enough to be seen. None of my photos are "HDR" images.
If you are interested in learning advanced landscape photography techniques, I recommend reading "Nature Photography" and "Landscape Photography" by Tim Fitzharris and "The Ultimate Guide to Digital Nature Photography" by the Mountain Trail Photo Team.
