I assume many of you are members of both organizations.. but if you had a choice, which one do you think best serves the practical needs of a nature photographer? of it is worth joining both?
Nanpa is a national organization. Many here are members for a variety of reasons including networking and educational opportunities at its annual summit and various regional gatherings.
NPN is another nature photography related website.
While I am a member of NANPA, I have to say that every year I see less and less benefit from continuing my membership. A lot of folks tout the NANPA sponsored equipment insurance, but even that is over priced.
I get my equipment insurance AND business insurance from The Hartford for about the same place as the equipment insurance ONLY from the NANPA provider.
It is sad to see an organization such as NANPA become less and less relevant over the years.
