Nature Photography Day will be celebrate nationally on Sunday, June 15 this year.

June 15, 2014, Nature Photography Day
In 2006, NANPA celebrated the first Nature Photography Day and placed it in McGraw-Hill's reference work, Chases's Calendar of Events. Many media and websites took notice. Since then, people throughout the North American continent--from overseas, too--have discovered numerous ways to observe and enjoy the day.Nature Photography Day Event
NANPA will be supporting Nature Photography Day by hosting a Facebook event page for your nature photos taken on June 15. Just get out there and take some photos, and then upload your best shot to the Nature Photography Day page.Celebrate Nature Photography Day!
Start making your plans for this year's Nature Photography Day! Here are some ideas:- Even before June 15, get inspired by reading about the work of naturalists as well as pioneers in nature photography.
- Pick something that you've never photographed before, and then make plans to photograph that subject or scene every June 15.
- Take your kids and grandkids on a nature trek, and show them how to photograph trees, flowers, birds, and more. Then print some of their photos and present them, in a mat or frame, to those young photographers.
- Why not experiment? Look for 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!
