I've always wanted to build an authority site based on something I'm passionate about and would enjoy writing about, but I have a question about choosing a domain name for it. Let's say (this is a hypothetical) that my passion is "Nature Photography" and I want to build my site base on that theme. During the course of keyword research, I come across a "related keyword", let's say "digital camera photography" and it's a great keyword to target, i.e. decent traffic, low and easy to beat competition etc. AND there also happens to be an exact match .com domain name available for it - digitalcameraphotography.com, so I've got a very good shot at ranking at number 1 in Google for that keyword. Now it's related to nature photography, but in a sort of tangential way. So I have a few options: a. register digitalcameraphotography.com and use that as the domain name for my nature photography authority site.

a. register digitalcameraphotography.com and use that as the domain name for my nature photography authority site.
b. adjust the theme of my authority site so that it's centered around digital camera photography and have nature photography just be a sub-page of it (although again, my passion is specifically for nature photography)
c. register digitalcameraphotography.com and have that point to a more suitable domain like naturephotographytips.com (even though the kw "nature photography" is not a good target.
d. forget about the domain digitalcameraphotography.com altogether and just register a name like naturephotographytips.com which more accurately describes the theme I am passionate and want to write about.
Or????? What do you think? What's my best option?
