Polar sunrise - Miguel LasaAn opportunity to view some of the worlds most amazing animals through the lenses of some incredible photographers... awesome!
We all know that the Natural History Museum is well worth a visit... The dinosaurs, the stuffed Dodo, the Earth Galleries - all brilliant! And this annual exhibition of digital delights is just another good reason to head over to Kensington. (...like we needed one :-)
The wildlife photographer of the year (2008) exhibition brings together another stunning selection of top-notch images. Each one illustrating our natural world at its wildest best! - Beautiful most of the time... scary sometimes... and 'look-away' distressing in places.
My favourite images from the exhibition are shown above and below. Polar sunrise by Miguel Lasa (above) is a stunning, clever and highly original portrait. It captures the power and fragile beauty of this mighty beast with just the lightest feathery licks of light. You know what it is, you know how strong he is and you certainly know what he would do to you if he had half a chance! Grrrrrreat!
