A Roundup of Environmental Photography
By Brian Auer • October 20th, 2007So Blog Action Day took place this last Monday (10-15-07), and I was keeping my eyes peeled for photography-related articles. I didn’t see a ton of them, but I was glad to see a few others participating in the event. Here are some of the “Environment & Photography” posts I came across.
- How to Be an Environmentally Friendly Photographer
digital Photography School - Environmental Impact Photography
JMG Galleries - Environment: a Photographer’s Contribution

In addition to these articles, there’s a great photo-of-the-day website called EarthShots.org. The site is aimed at celebrating the beauty and diversity of our planet by featuring the photographs submitted by their visitors. The featured photos are truly amazing work, and you can even subscribe to the EarthShots.org RSS Feed so you don’t miss out on any of the new picks.
Anybody can enter photos, and your entries can be chosen up to one month after submission. The winners aren’t always fully natural landscape photos, so take a look through their archives to see what kind of content they look for. I’ve submitted my first photo entry tonight, and I plan to submit more in the near future. So check out the site, and you might have a chance to be featured in a video like this:

This is an interesting topic. I’ve been looking before at earthshots.org and they really are amazing.
It’s there that I started my passion for nature photography.
More or less on-topic: I’ve finished the Environmental Science University and currently learning an Environmental Security Master.
Congrats on your education! That’s pretty awesome that your schooling has led you into nature photography.
Just a quick update — one of my photos has been selected at EarthShots.org. You can see it here.
