I love photography and have earned a living at it for more than forty years. Hummingbirds are one of my favorite subjects, but I am also keen on close-ups and landscapes.

I really enjoy teaching photography and been fortunate to have led dozens of international photo tours including forty trips to Kenya and twenty to the Galapagos. Focal Press has published many of my instructional nature photography books that include:

Nature Photography: The Art and the Science

Digital Landscape Photography

Digital Wildlife Photography

Close Up Photography in Nature

Outdoor Flash Photography

Thanks for looking at the images. Many of my instructional articles on photography are posted on my web site at: www.gerlachnaturephoto.com
