BIOGRAPHY

Welcome.  I'm Ron Day, and this website features my photography.  Throughout life, I have been fascinated with light - its changing qualities and characteristics. I believe that appealing light is the dominant factor in successful photography. 

I have long admired the work of Frans Lanting, Jim Brandenburg, and Art Wolfe, and the way each of them uses exquisite light to transfigure photographs of birds and wildlife into works of art.

Living on a lake in a remote wooded area, I observe, study, and photograph native birds and wildlife frequently. On each occasion, I strive to learn something new about my subject and its natural environment.

Working with attractive light, and carefully selecting the aesthetic elements in a scene, I endeavor to showcase my subjects in well-composed, visually engaging images.

My photographs have been published by Audubon, Boating Life, Birder's World, Equus, Nature Photographer, National Wildlife, Nature's Best Photography, North American Nature Photography Association, Outdoor Oklahoma, Peterson's PHOTO-graphic, and Wild Bird. Several of my photographs also have received awards.  

I authored "Understanding and Using the RAW File Format", recently published  by NatureScapes.  I am a member of the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA).  You also will find my images at Naturescapes, Profotos, and NANPA.  Please feel free to contact me  if you have questions, comments, or suggestions.  Thank you for your interest in my photography.
