NANPA Celebrates the 5th Annual Nature Photography Day

Thanks to all who participated in last year's Nature Photography Day event. Please come back later this year to see what we have planned for the 5th Annual Nature Photography Day.

Nature Photography Day Member Event

NANPA again challenges its members to take nature photographs on June 15 and upload *one* for publication in the July/August issue of Ripples , our bi-monthly newsletter. This is not a contest. All photos will be published and there is no cost for submission. Photos for submission MUST be taken on June 15, 2010, within walking distance of wherever you are on that day. Full details can be found on the Nature Photography Day Event Page.

Celebrate Nature Photography Day!

Start making your plans for this year's Nature Photography Day!

You could do this:

• Select a subject in nature that is small or common and thus easily overlooked. Then photograph it in a way to make the ordinary seem extraordinary.


• Take your kids and grandkids on a nature trek and give them a single-use camera to use. Then print some of their photos and present them, in a mat or frame, to those young photographers.


• Pick something that you've never photographed before, and then make plans to photograph that subject or scene every June 15.


• Look for and photograph something that detracts from the beauty in nature - images that show how human beings sometimes adversely affect our environment.


• Finally, ask yourself how your images can help to bring positive changes to your world!
