Motorcycle and Garage Door

A security grate stands between a man and a motorcycle in the Bronx.

"I will feel sad if nature was taken away from me," wrote student Miriam Gonzalez. "When I go out, I like to take pictures of nature with my friend. Also, nature can be quiet. You can sit in a tree and read and have a place to meditate. But most important, there won't be any living things. No one will experience life. What will there be on Earth? Nothing! Nothing to be seen. Nothing to talk about. We all need nature in our lives. Go live!"

Long Exposures

When making long exposures, use a remote release to avoid camera movement. If you don't have a remote release, use the camera's self-timer.
