Natural Exposures Online, Welcome to our world of wildlife.

Natural Exposures is the exclusive showcase for the photography of Daniel J. Cox. It is through his rich and broad experience, nearly 30 years of working this medium, that he provides us with access to a world of wildlife, scenery, travel and science that few of us have a chance to see—or feel—in person. Dan’s work vividly expresses his own philosophical concerns about conservation, animal welfare, and our fragile green earth. His archives offer an unparalleled selection of pictures—over 500,000—of wildlife, conservation issues, animal behavior, exotic cultures, natural history, science and travel photography. What Dan communicates in every photo is a passion for his subjects—a virtual story in a single image that resonates hope or despair, survival or demise, bounty or depletion. Beauty. Awe. Eloquence. And wonder. We invite you to explore Dan’s world of breathless beauty, heart-stopping action, and countless one-of-a-kind events. Choose from hundreds of different subjects within ecosystems from Antarctica to Zaire. All of them represent the best of Daniel J. Cox's vision, talent, and skill as a photojournalist traveling the world.

The Amazing American Dipper
The American Dipper - also know as the water ouzel - has always piqued my curiosity. Growing up as a young boy in the state of Washington, I often saw these remarkable little birds in the same places my father stalked trout. Most people pass them by but for me, their fascinating technique of diving to forage from the river bottom has always made me want to know more. I’ve found that they’re a symbol of the high mountain west, an indicator of sorts that the water runs translucent, the air smells of pine and this patch of mother earth is at peace. On this day in Yellowstone National Park I finally got a chance to photograph them and it came on a crystal clear morning with temperatures reading 32 degrees below zero. My first day of shooting was productive, but all the images were cloaked in a foggy haze, the birds silhouetted by billowing steam from the warmer, river water. I returned for two additional mornings, capturing dippers living out their lives in the habitat they call home. They aren't colorful but they are hearty. Notice the tear drop shaped chunk of ice on the tail of the dipper in the third image. With every plunge into the icy water the ice ball grew larger. A moment in time frozen like the water on this ouzels tail. See more photos...

Ecuador Rain Forest and Galapagos Islands
We recently returned from another great photography adventure. My wife Tanya and I took a group of enthusiastic photography friends to the Amazon basin and the Galapagos Islands. I've not spent a great deal of time in South America but it truly is an amazing place and provides fabulous photographic opportunities. We began our adventure in the high mountain city of Quito Ecuador, progressed to the Amazon basin and a beautiful rain forest lodge and finally on to the Galapagos Islands. If you;re interested you can follow the link to a collection of images I shot. Enjoy the pictures and if you have an interest in joing us on our next adventure just drop us an email or give us a call.
