    This was taken out a hotel room window, in Manchester, on a Nokia N95, which was 18 months old and battered.

    This was taken at Mahon Falls, somewhere near Waterford.

    Trees are my favourite subject.

    These Wellingtonias are exceptionally beautiful.

    If we are doing Rainbows ... this was one taken in Holyhead a couple of years ago.

    Stuck there for hours waiting for a ferry. May as well take out the camera & have a play.

    OK, so more wildlife than nature.

    I have a question. I get the difference between wildlife and nature (one's got animals/fauna as the main subject:p), but is there a difference between nature and landscape?

    Is it to do with the absence of obvious man made interference?

    More of a focus on plants?

    More sky in landscapes, even?

    Or is there really not much difference at all? On the whole, it's just a terminology thing and doesn't make a lot of difference. A good shot is still a good shot after all. Just interested in where people draw the imaginary line:).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,146 ✭✭✭Morrisseeee


    Just to add a little more confusion: I know the thread title is 'Nature shots', I was kinda hoping for 'Mother Nature' shots, ie. rainbows, weather, lightning, waves, storms etc, but the thread just took off with animals and flowers etc, but I suppose all the pics were so good and colorful that.........well......lets roll with everything to do with Nature !

    So it's time for another rainbow?

    Nearly stepped on this guy as I was out for a stroll, I only got a few snaps before he flew off and this was probably the best of them.

    I took this one on Mother's Day last year and thought it was apt.:)

    Yup. Walked up there a few weeks back when the light was nice and the frost was fresh, snapped about 200 shots over 2 hours (ended up with about 10 or 11 worthwhile pictures :) )

    Not gonna post the Waves photo from the yearbook because I think we've all seen enough of it (thank you Examiner and Herald AM!), but I'll post this unusual one instead:
