I am a student of jewellery designing.I will mostly focus on product photography but I want to know how shoot nature too.Frankly speaking, I dont know anything about photography...we have been just said to shoot something having a shutter speed of 125 or 250 and an aperture between 5.6 to 9.(this was our first class)I dont know wat to shoot at these conditions.

Maybe you should check out this article I wrote: What do Camera Settings Mean? I also like nature photography. Are you talking mostly about animals - not landscapes? A good thing to do is experiment with the different settings regarding light for specific pictures, although there are "rules" for exposing in certain lighting conditions. The article I wrote gives you information on what to change for different purposes (like when you need to increase shutter speed, change the aperture, etc.). Basically, it's best to shoot early in the morning or afternoon, set for a fairly high shutter speed for stable shots (like 1/250 to 1/1000), a wide aperture to isolate the subjects (like f/4 to f/2) a low ISO to make the image smooth (like ISO 200 to ISO 50), and to zoom in enough so the subject takes up a decent amount of the picture, while leaving room for context. An important thing for any photographer is a tripod. This is epically important for zooming in on animals and birds far away, because camera shake is magnified at high zooms. Also keep in mind the rule of thirds when composing your shots: imagine a tic-tack-toe board drawn on your viewfinder. Your subject should be on one of the corners (or lines) and be facing toward the picture. For more specific conditions and subjects, more specific instructions could be given, but if your SLR is digital you shouldn't have too hard a time experimenting a little for a given shot with the info I gave you. Also, if you mean landscape by nature photography, I could give you a few pointers, though I'm not THAT into it (yet). :) Happy shooting! Ariel

I guess I should make it clearer that when I was giving you the basic settings to shoot at, that was more for animals than other subjects. If you are unclear on something I wrote, I could clarify, too.
