It is often the case that a person experiences something they consider to be extremely beautiful or awe-inspiring in nature to the point in which he or she wishes to capture the moment’s beauty in nature in some manner. People choose to capture nature’s beauty in different ways depending on the unique characteristics of the individual. A photographer may want to take a photograph, while a painter may choose to paint the image, or a sculptor may choose to create a sculpture. When the desire sets in to capture nature’s beauty in more than just a memory, people tend to take pictures. Cameras, despite all of their technological improvements over the years, can only capture so much in a photograph. Personally, I have had an experience where I attempted to make a duplicate through photography of the night sky one night where the moon happened to be extremely visible and beautiful, but the camera was not able to capture the light, shadows, and colors the way that was so clearly seen in person. Due to this inability to capture nature in an artistic way that is an exact replica of the natural seen, humans have developed a different type of appreciation for nature in comparison to art objects attempting to depict it. Do people place more value on photography of nature because it is a truer representation of the original or does the opposite hold true where individuals place more value on a drawing, painting, or sculpture because it is more difficult to create?
