Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2005

This afternoon a colleague from work and I visited the National History Museum to see the exhibition of 84 of the best pictures from the Wildlfie Photographer of the Year. I have to say it was a really good exhibition. The photos were absolutely amazing!

They were very well presented too; they werent just prints stuck on the wall. Im not sure how they were mounted, I think they were a from of slide, with a light shining throught them from behind.

I would recommend all photographers visit this gallery before it ends in April. Even if wildife isnt really your thing, I think you will appreciate it.

You can even see the camera/lens/settings info for all the pictures. Quite a range of different kit was used, but mostly it was high end SLRs. Mostly they were Canon 1 series SLRs and DSLRS and also Nikon F5 or F6s (no D2Xs for some reason).

Full details on visiting the exhibition can be found here

Yeah I went when it opened, some great photos on display but I cant say I was at all impressed by the winner

I especially liked the "surfing" penguin shot by Andy Rouse:

I remember seeing the winner on gmtv, with his bird shots, there is something about the photo i do like, a hawk chasing the flock but i personally think others were better.

Wow, some outstanding shots in there. The 'young wildlife photographer of the year' is a lucky kid. His shot was taken on a camera bought for his 10th birthday...
