If you're a nature photographer, you might be interested in submitting your photographs to the Calphotos project in UC Berkeley. The main goal of this project is to collect photographs taken in the california state, spanning several topics from birds, animals to plants, flowers & fungi and sharing them for classroom purposes with education instutitions and other environmental organization, museums, zoo's etc.
What is great about this project is, all photographs that are received are properly examined and reviewed by someone and categorized under the correct scientific names in a well defined structure. This makes their database a more reliable and easy resource to find pictures for anyone interested.
As a photographer you still continue to own the copyright for all the images you post. Their website mentions that the Calphotos database receives about 120,000 queries a day and serves a million images every day.
Ron Wolf, who presented at this month's Bay area bird photographer's meeting, highly recommended the birders who attended to post more photos to this project.
