Mark your calendars, next Monday, June 15th, is Nature Photography Day! Not that you needed an excuse to take a half day off (or even better a long weekend) to get outdoors and get shooting. If you’d like some feedback on your shots, or would like to celebrate in absentia by viewing photos taken by others, you can submit and view photos taken on June 15 to the Nature Photography Day Event Page.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the event you can also participate in the Nature Photography Day Contest for a chance to win a Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom lens, gift certificates, or a NANPA membership. Check out the guidelines online on NANPA’s facebook page.
