Hello and Welcome to Scenic Beauty
How do I usually come across excellent photo opportunities? Often times while I'm out walking, I'll let my thoughts idly drift until my attention is snapped like a whip to a breath taking beautiful image of nature. Unfortunately I rarely carry a camera so much of my amateur photo's have been shot with my cell phones (old Razr, now Iphone).
The benefits of natural beauty
According to John Davis' website "A strong body of psychological research, supported by widespread anecdotal evidence, confirms the hypothesis that direct contact with nature leads to increased mental health and psychological development."Additional papers (The Nature of the View from Home, The role of nature in the context of the workplace) support the hypothesis that viewing natural beauty has positive correlations with the feeling of well being.
In addition the effects of natural beauty have been connected to those when it is replicated by various layers of abstraction, see Augmented reality of the natural world and its psychological effects: A value-sensitive design approach
