Definition
of Nature photography
Nature photography is restricted
to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural
history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed
person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest
presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than
the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements
shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of
the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to
an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in
situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific
bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permis-sible.
Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals,
domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of
manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement.
No techniques that add, relocate,
replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Tech-niques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the
nature story or the pictorial content, or without altering the content of the
original scene, are permitted including HDR, focus stacking and dodging/
burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust
spots, digital noise, and film scratch-es, are allowed. Stitched images are not
permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be
converted to grey-scale monochrome. Infrared images, either direct-captures or
derivations, are not allowed.
Images used in Nature Photography
competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature and Wildlife. Images entered
in Nature sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above can have
landscapes, geologic for- mations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the
primary subject matter. This includes images taken with the subjects in
controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums
and any enclosure where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food
