To further promote the appreciation of our natural world among the general public, the Nature Photographers Network will be conducting its first annual Nature Photographers Day (NPD) on Sunday, October 4, 2009.
The theme of this year’s NPD is "What Nature Photography Means to Me" - why we enjoy nature photography and how focusing on the beauty of nature through the camera's viewfinder provides an escape from the stress of daily living.
On that day, members of NPN should plan to go afield to capture photos of nature subjects and post their best shots of the day in a special gallery on the NPN website. The gallery, which will appear in the Gallery menu as "NPD 2009" will be open from October 4 through October 18 for members to post their photos. The gallery will remain open permanently for viewing and comment. In keeping with the 2009 NPD theme, when posting photos in the gallery members should explain in their own words how being out in nature to capture this specific photo provided an escape from the stress of daily living. For example, the description can include the enjoyment of being in a particular location, the joy of observing the subject or scene through the viewfinder, the satisfaction of printing the photo or sharing it with others on the NPN site, etc.
