Nature
Defining nature photographers is difficult as many people have their own definitions over what makes a nature photo.
Nature [Oxford Dictionary]: the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscapers and the other features and products of the earth, as opposed to the humans or their creations.
Photographic Society of America says that photographs of artificially produces hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens or obviously set arrangements are in eligible, as it any form of manipulation that alters the truth if the photographic statement.
You cannot change the truth of the picture or set the picture as to how you want it.
Nature photography is an umbrella term incorporating landscape, wildlife, and plant photography, most nature photography is taken outdoors and can focus on macro views.
Some key ideas of nature photography include
- Valuing aesthetics over content
- Focuses on texture and pattern
- Capturing wildlife is often concerned with capturing a moment of 'action' in an animal's natural environment
- Capturing nature so that it communicates the essence of a moment
