John Shaw started his career in nature photography quite a few years ago, back in the 1970's. Shaw travels all over the world, getting to shoot all sorts of scenery. The shots he captures range from wild animal photo's to sand pictures and everyday pictures that you may just witness out in the country. Some of my favorite photograph's from him are from when he traveled to Australia, Japan, and Kenya. My favorite photo from his trip in Kenya is this one where the wildebeest is crossing the Mara River. I like how he captured the animal's urgency to get across the river, and he got a large group of the wildebeest together showing how they travel.
I also really enjoy his water and sky photographs. I love the way he is able to capture a sunrise perfectly, just the way you would view it from watching it from your front porch. In this photo we see cattails that are standing in water, with slight ripples in the water surrounding the many cattails. The background really ties the whole picture together, the sun rising with the fog slightly overshadowing it portrays a early morning, probably before most of us are even up.
