The club
Hello everybody and welcome to this new club completely devoted to nature photographers who would like to try and sell some of their work. The point is to bring everybody that takes photos of various kinds nature shots, into this one community. This club will allow others to see your work and give them the opportunity to make friends and gain constructive critisism for their work. It will also bring together all those who are wishing to buy or sell nature photgraphy close to each other. So that we can share our works and demonstrate it easily. Much easier then it is done through the dA shop, as all kinds of prints get mangled up there.

Joining
Joining is as simple as sending the club a note saying "join the club" in the subject line and adding the club to your friends list. It would also be greatly appreciated if you added a link to the club in either your journal or signature. NOTE: only those with valid printing accounts may join, unless it is a club affiliation. Any other special cases can be resolved by sending the club a note (an example of this would be someone who would just like to join to purchase various nature photos, without having any work to submit or sell).

Submitting Work
To submit work to the club, all you have to do is send the club a note with a link to the original image (the deviation) and the link to that photo as the print (on the dA shop website) saying "submission" in the subject line. Please make sure to follow this to make it easier for everyone! Only deviations with sellable prints (or other items such as postcards or calendars) will be accepted. Any work with no real product will not be accepted. If the deviation is still waiting to get a print accepted, please refrain from submitting it until it has been completely approved and working. As the club is still young, for now we will be accepting 2 submissions every week, but as the community expand, this number will decrease to only 1 per week. Only members of the club are allowed to submit their work to the club, so all you have to do is share your work, is join the club! Note: this must be your own work, and not anybody elses!

As simply a nature club would be of too large of a variety of works, this club will only accept photgraphy depicting wild nature. This means that any domesticated animals, flowers with visible pots, or basically anything that is created and constantly maintained by humans. Although, if for example a landscape shot would show a minuscule microwave tower in the corner, the submission would still be acceptable, but please keep it to a minimal. Small human figures are also accepted, as long as they add to the picture and enhance it's effect. If it shows true power of nature (for example a small human in the corner could show how big a water fall is). But no cloesups, portaits, or recognizable human faces or features. If you really deem that a certain image would stlll be acceptable, yet breaking one of the above tules, then you can still try and submit it, but explaining why you think that it would be good for the club. Also, if you are unsure whether your devition is appropriate or not, don't be afraid to ask.

Again, as there would be an immense variety of artwork that could be submitted, the club will only be accepting photos. Photo manipulations may be accepted to some extent, but it still has to be recognizable as an image that came out of a camera.

All work in the club is there to give links to the deviants' works themselves. This is not the club's own work, and is definitely to be recognized as the orginal photos. The links to the original work, the deviant's front page, and the print itself, will be given as the image description. If you wish to comment on that work of art, add it to your favorites or wishlist, or even purchase, you must do it through the original artist and not here. Comments and favorites will not be recognized on the club and no prints are on the club's page itself.
