The exquisite visual offerings created by National Geographic over the past 125 years are well known by the general public around the world. This fine corner of their website brings together the work of their many fine staff photographers, videographers, and community members who contribute to this expansive brocade. After creating a free login, visitors can start their journey through the site by looking over the Photo of the Day or the "Best of…" slideshows that bring together highlights from past months. The "Editors' Picks" area offers thematic collections, such as "Photographing Lions," "Tel Aviv," "Patterns in Nature: Water" and "The Space Between." Shutterbugs will enjoy the online tutorials and tips contained in the "Photography Tips" area. Here they will find detailed suggestions on how to photograph details, urban landscapes, the night sky, and many other settings, times, and vistas. Finally, the site contains the "Featured Bios" area which has details on some of the fine photographers profiled here, including Paul Nicklen, Joel Sartore, and Mark Thiessen.
