Hashtags for Nature
There are several hashtags you can use for your nature shots, but if your post fits into another niche category, it’s always good to use more direct hashtags. If your photo is of the landscape, whether city or nature, try to use specific landscape hashtags.
The best hashtags for nature pics are a mix and match – use some generic nature hashtags with a few landscape hashtags (if that’s applicable) and some niche hashtags for the area you’re visiting. Changing up hashtags over time is also a good idea, especially because Instagram is always changing its algorithm.
Landscape Hashtags
Some stellar landscape hashtags include: #landscape #nature #photography #sky #sunset #travel #view #picoftheday #clouds #instagood #mountains #photo #winter #naturephotography #love #photooftheday #trees #instadaily #traveling #beautiful #naturelovers #sun #vsco #landscapelovers #colours #igers #explore #landscapephotography #like4like #wanderlust
Sunset Hashtags
Is there really anything more picturesque than a sunset? Capturing the sun setting over the mountains, beach or city provides a beautiful image for everyone to love. Using the right hashtags will get this picture seen by the right people. Plus, it’ll generate more recognition and engagement.
These popular hashtags range from as simple as #sunset or #sun to #skyporn and #wanderlust.
