Yes, you can take great nature pictures.
Nearly every RVer would claim that they love nature and enjoy getting out in it. A great majority of those will admit to having taken pictures while RVing. One hotspot where RVers and wildlife come together is Yellowstone National Park.
Here, the opportunity to capture wildlife on camera is more the norm, rather than the exception. Once we get home, however, and start paging through our phones and digital cameras, we find that the ratio of quality images is usually exceeded by those that are less so. Now there is a new book, the Beginners Guide to Bird and Wildlife Photography to help change that ratio.

How to combine RVing and photography
RVers of all ages are primed to seek out wildlife. RV owners are already traveling, and they enjoy it. They are getting into those areas where wildlife can be found. Whether it’s a large and diverse expanse such as Yellowstone, a remote boondocking location in a desert area, or a quiet pond in the woods, RVers are there, and they are taking pictures.
Most of us settle for a crummy picture on our phones, wishing we had a better camera and knew how to use it. Those that have gone the route of that better camera many times don’t know the basics to getting great wildlife shots.
