Default A question about natural history

Ok so I joined a camera club in feb and have been enjoying it,

but our next comp is natural history panel competition and i am not sure what i should be photographing as i can get a bit muddled as the definition of some of the catergories eg the wildlife, nature and natural history,

I tried google but it has not helped my understand, If someone could define natural history for me that would be great, Also any pointers hints or tips would also be greatly welcomed

Thank you

Ally

Step 1: ask other people in the club, particuarly those who set the competition.

We can offer guesses, based on things like natural history museums we have visited (there is a fantastic one in Oxford if you want to do a research visit) but the definition used by the organisers is the most important thing.

Joining a camera club is to join others with the same interests' and to learn from one another. I would not hesitate to ask those organizing the competition for a clearer definition.
