Wildlife Photographer of the Year
Wonderful exhibition of wildlife photographs at the Natural History Museum of the best photos in this annual competition.
I always mean to go to this annual exhibition but often run out of time. This year are some stunning images in about 14 categories. They are beautifully displayed with back lighting which gives some of the pictures an almost 3D quality.
The pictures show a number of things. Some are studies in patience with photographers having waited hours and in some cases months for the image they want of a rare animal. Others are studies in technique or texture. I like the fact you don’t need to have travelled thousands of miles or be intrepid to enter, many of the best images are local to where the photographer lives.
My favourite shot was one of a close up of a rain drop on a leaf with another leaf reflected in the drop by Darren Leal. In the same category “In praise of plants” I also like a water lily photographed from below by Frederick Ehrenstrom.
