A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact. - Aldo Leopold

Naturescapes 2010

This year I'm the Hill Country Photography Club's Coordinator for the 6th Annual Naturescapes Photography Contest and Exhibition.

Goals of the contest include increasing public awareness of the importance of protecting our natural world and giving photographers at all levels of experience a chance to capture, share, and receive recognition for beautiful and inspiring images. The Contest is now accepting entries and the deadline for submissions is Monday, July 12th.

The contest is sponsored by the Hill Country Photography Club and the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance. You can find out more about the contest, including the rules, here. The basic requirements are that the photos be taken within Hays County, within the last 2 years.

The San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance maintains a flickr page where you can view the images from 2007, 2008, and 2009, and the previous award winners. Be sure to take a look. The images accepted for the Exhibition are of the highest quality and you'll find some truly beautiful nature photography.

If you're interested in nature and photography, this is your chance to share the beauty of the Hays County natural areas and perhaps receive recognition for your work!
