2). Get The Most Out Of Your Camera. (Part 1).
Did you ever see an image where only a small part of it is sharp? Using the aperture ring correctly can maximise the artistic look of your image.
Not only does it determine the depth-of-field, it also has the power to direct the human eye.
The human eye is instinctively drawn towards noticeable points of an image. These are usually the sharpest and most important parts of an image.

3). Best Places to See Wildlife in Nature
Copyright 2006 Emma Snow
While a zoo definitely has it's place in animal watching, it doesn't compare to seeing animals in their own natural habitat. After a recent visit to Yellowstone National Park, this felt especially true for me. A traffic jam caused by young buffalo calves and their mothers crossing the road is an experience not to be missed.

9). Get the Best Campsite This Weekend
Copyright 2006 Karin Manning
Imagine enjoying a beautiful peaceful sleep in your ten only to be woken up at 5am by a man on a power mower mowing the grass on the adjacent golf course.
This actually happened to 200 campers at a campground in Washington, some of whom have claimed “It was our worse camping experience in the USA so far.”
His response was, “this is the only time that there are no golfers around”! (Lucky for them, I’d say!)
This proves one thing.

10). Give Your Bird A Healthy Life By Feeding Him Proper And Nutritional Foods.
Bringing up a Healthy Bird
1. Feed your bird a nutritional diet in order for him to live a long and happy life. When a bird is malnourished he could die at an early age. They also can pick up disease when they are not being fed properly.
2. If you have a bird that is a member of the parrot family he should be fed different types of food. Giving your parrot only seeds is a common mistake.

13). Serengeti Safari - Memories and Miscommunications
The scene before me could be matched nowhere else on earth. Parched yellow grass spread out before us as far as the eye could see - broken only by the occasional umbrella tree and a few hundred thousand migrating wildebeest forming a dusty, thin gray line on the horizon to the north. As the sun pounded down from overhead, heat vapors danced up from the ground.

14). Zoo Use 101
Do you truly see animals at the zoo? A while back, on a visit to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Santa Monica, I overheard a tour guide say the average time spent looking at a work of art in the museum is five to ten seconds per piece. At first this shocked me. At the time I was standing entranced next to Van Gogh’s ‘Irises.’ I envisioned museumgoers not even breaking their stride as they blew past.

15). A Few Words In Praise of Birds
Why do birds appeal to us ? Most people enjoy the sight of birds, even people who have never been active birdwatchers. Although birds are less like us in appearance and habits than our fellow mammals, birds undeniably hold a special place in our hearts.
One reason that birds capture our imaginations is that they can fly, while we remain trapped here on earth.
