This is a perfect example of the tyranny of the majority at work. I mean "Nature and the Environment"... that includes every single thing in front of a lens, right? In fact it would be more of a challenge to try to shoot something that is not in the environment.
Weather... that would be part of Nature I suppose. So would Water. So anyone wanting to shoot those might as well choose the more encompassing category. In fact, we are part of Nature as well, so People falls into that category. Automobiles are as well. And Light... I would like to see someone take a photograph
without using light.
There is also a major category confusion going on, between techniques (macro), subjects (people) and aesthetics (black & white).
Oh well, so it goes.
