Wildlife Photographer of the year

The mister and I recently visited the Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit at the Natural History Museum. This is my second year attending and it was even better than the previous year. The photographs are absolutely astounding and reading about the photographer's journey to that one perfect shot is unbelievable; camping in the wilderness for weeks on end waiting for that one perfect moment or simply walking out into their backyard to discover something extraordinary. There are 118 photographs on display, some funny, some horrific (truly unforgettably images showing the brutality of the animal trade), and some a view into a completely different world. 

The exhibit runs until 11 March 2011 so make sure to check it out. Also pre-book tickets, it's popular. All images courtesy of the Natural History Museum.
