CHRIS MURRAY has been practicing landscape photography for fifteen years. His work has appeared in several magazines including Nature Photographer, Photo Techniques, and New York State Conservationist. Chris' interest in photographing landscapes is derived mainly from my love of the natural world, the same love that led him to choose geology as his first profession. For Chris, the appeal of photography lies in the blending of the technical and the artistic. As a scientist, he is naturally drawn to the technical aspects of photography: decisions regarding filters, shutter speed, aperture, and so on. The skills he has learned as a scientist, the attention to detail and careful observation, have also helped him immensely as an artist.
