This group is dedicated to Urban and Rural photography only. The idea of creating the group came from seeing that, even with some urban groups out there, it was really difficult to find one dedicated to both forms of photography.

I'm BitterBeanJuicer, and my duty at Urban-and-Rural is to feature submitted artworks. I'll feature amazing U&R and Architecture Photographers fortnightly!
Urban and Rural focuses on the surroundings of an area, rather than individual elements within.
City Life
Just because a photo was taken in a city, doesn't automatically make it a city life piece. Therefore, shots of traffic lights or zebra crossings won't be accepted. City life is all about the way we live, ie what goes on in a city. This can relate closely to street photography in some aspects, but not all. City life can show a city in operation - traffic, trains and other aspects.
Cityscapes and Skylines
Obviously, these are the urban equivalent of landscapes. If it doesn't involve buildings... it should probably go into 'Country Life' instead :)
Country Life
Similar to City Life, but obviously in the countryside. So, it shows how people life in rural areas. It can also be used for landscapes or for showing vast areas of countryside.
Gardens, Parks and Cemeteries
This is not for close up shots of headstones, or flowers, or monuments, or benches, or grass :B This is for showing the whole, surrounding area of either a garden, park or cemetery.
Industrial
This one is pretty simple. Industrial stuff :B ie, industrial areas, cranes, railways etc.
Misc
If you don't think the piece fits anywhere else but could still be considered U&R, then this is the place it should go.
Urban Exploration
People seem to misunderstand this gallery the most and usually has the most miscats. This gallery is for places that are abandoned, wasted, out of use, ruined, out of reach normally etc etc. Places like abandoned warehouses, rail ways and the like.
That's about it. If you have any questions, then PLEASE ask :)
Also! Submissions have gone up from three, to four per week! So get submitting
thanks a lot :*
