General Information
Nature Photographers of Colorado
is a unique network of amateur and professional photographers
who share a passion for photographing the natural wonders
of Colorado. This Web site was created by photographers
for photographers — to provide a place to share, learn and
interact with other Colorado photographers.
Participation in the group, the forums and events is open
to those who love to photograph Colorado's diverse landscape
and abundant wildlife. Whether you are an amateur or seasoned
pro; a local or frequent visitor, you are invited to join
the only online community dedicated solely to Colorado nature
photography. Our lively forums provide a fun, friendly and
professional atmosphere for sharing photos, chatting about
our favorite Colorado places, sharing recent Colorado experiences,
discussing the photographic process and so much more.
Nature Photographers of Colorado
is the brainchild of Darren
Kilgore and Jesse
Speer. After kicking around the concept for over a year,
the two photographers launched this forum Web site.
Forum Guidelines
1) The forums can be viewed by the general public, but free membership and registration is required to participate in discussions and to post images. You must register using your first and last name. Registered members receive a free image gallery and bio on the Portfolios page.
2) The forums should not be used to discuss politics, religion or other sensitive/unrelated subjects. Discussions should remain courteous and respectful, to encourage a friendly atmosphere within the forums. Lively debates and honest feedback are welcome within the spirit of these guidelines.
3) No advertising is permitted in the
forums. Members may include self-promotional text and links
within signature lines, including commercial products and

signings and other related events is allowed
by members.
4) Images should not exceed 250 KB in
size. The maximum dimension allowed is 700 pixels on the
longest side. Panoramic images may be 900 pixels on the
longest side. The rules regarding dimensions apply whether
your image is hosted by this Web site or an outside server
embedded in a thread. For images hosted on other servers
that are linked to, there is no limit on size.
5) Members may not post more than 20 images per day. Multiple photos within one post are allowed, and in fact are encouraged in such forums as the Trip Reports Gallery.

8) You must be the original copyright owner for any image that you post.
9) If animals are photographed in captivity, please state so in your post.

11) Honest comments are welcome and encouraged within image evaluations, but please maintain a friendly and constructive atmosphere.
12) "Image Requests" from magazines and other publications MAY NOT be posted in the forums. If you feel that others may benefit from hearing about an image request, please post a message describing the photo(s) needed and request that any interested members contact you privately directly via email or private messaging. DO NOT post email messages you have received directly from photo editors and photo buyers, including any sensitive business information.
The forum moderators reserve the right
to edit any post that does not follow the general guidelines
