NatureScapes.Net went online in August of 2003 with the goal of being a resource for nature photographers. Founded by three very active photographers, NatureScapes.Net is also supported by the work of a talented staff, web team, columnists, and moderators. The site is currently comprised of four major sections:

 

Online Magazine

New content is published monthly with articles on biology, habitat, behavior, locations, art, technique, technology, equipment reviews and more as it pertains to our craft of nature photography. Articles are freely accessible and provided in an alternate format for easier printing. A number of widely recognized photographers are regular columnists. The current month's articles can be found on the NatureScapes.Net home page and previously published content can be found in the archives.

 

Online Forums for Discussion and Image Critique

The online forums are free to access and use but do require registration. Thousands of photographers from all over the world are registered for the NatureScapes.Net online forums. Please read our site guidelines before registering and using the forums.

  • Photo and digital topics are actively discussed, as well as environment, conservation and ethics concerns.
  • A photo essays forum encourages a brief series of images with accompanying text to hone writing skills of photographers. Photo montages may also be posted.
  • Image critique forums allow the posting of images for objective feedback in the categories of birds, wildlife, landscapes, flora and macro, and elements of humankind and digital creations. To post images in the forums, the photos must first be hosted on the internet, such as on a personal website or online gallery that allows linking. For photographers without these resources, one of the NatureScapes.Net paid member benefits is the image upload service.
  • The reference forums offer help on use of the forums and also provide some brief articles for nature photographers.
  • The events and announcement section provides an opportunity to place or find photo workshop listings, peruse the equipment classifieds, find out about current nature photography contests, and list or lookup displays and exhibits.
  • Regional chapters allow forum participants to network with other photographers in their local areas. "Nature eScapes" are informal outings coordinated by independent individuals and are a great way to meet up with other photographers and find out more about new locations.

Visit the NatureScapes.Net online discussion and image critique forums. Please note: if you have not already registered, you can proceed by selecting the "Register" icon towards the upper right corner of the forum index page, or by clicking here.

 

NatureScapes.Net Member Portfolios

Another benefit of paid membership at NatureScapes.Net is a fifty-image member portfolio. Photo portfolios are easy to set up and maintain, no website design experience necessary. They can be used in addition to, or instead of, a personal photography website. Photos can be added, changed, or deleted at will and additional space may be purchased for a nominal fee. Visit the NatureScapes.Net member portfolios.

 

NatureScapes.Net Online Store for Nature Photographers

The online store provides convenient, one-stop shopping for a variety of accessories for the nature photographer. Product lines include Gitzo, Wimberley, Hakuba, NEOS, Foxgloves, Kinesis, and more. Products are added when they have been field tested and approved. Visit the NatureScapes.Net store for nature photographers.
