Kurzbeschreibung
This is the latest memorable collection of images from the prestigious annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition - the international showcase for the very best photography featuring natural subjects. This year it is published by the Natural History Museum itself for the first time. This outstanding collection of photographs features a wide range of natural subjects and styles, from vivid scenes of animal behaviour and breathtaking landscapes to arresting portraits and abstract images of the natural world. Each stunning photograph is accompanied by an extended caption that explains where and how it was taken. Featuring the best in wildlife photography from across the world, this new collection celebrates the beauty, drama and diversity of nature. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition finds the very best wildlife images taken by the world's top professional and amateur photographers. Each year thousands of entries are received and judged by a specially selected panel of experts. Being accepted into the competition is something that wildlife photographers, worldwide, aspire to. The competition is owned by two UK institutions that pride themselves on revealing and championing the diversity of life on Earth: the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine.

Viel zu wenig bekannt im deutschen Sprachraum. Ausgezeichnete Fotografien auf gutem Papier. Jedes Jahr gibt es einen neuen Band und auch Nr. 20 ist voller wunderschöner und unglaublihcer Fotografien.
Der Band 20 ist hierbei besonders gelungen.
Mein Tipp ist, auf amazon.co.uk zu suchen. Da gibt es noch mehr und ältere Bände. Der Versand ist günstig und Zoll gibt es keinen.

An evolving masterpiece
31. Oktober 2010
I have been acquiring these annual compilations almost since the first issue came out 19 years ago, at which time I was a part-time pro wildlife photographer myself and contributing to the BBC slide library. Even then I was awed by the quality of the work. Now I am only a hobbyist, but the work in these competitions continues to go from strength to strength. This year's album has achieved a look and feel which is a little different, and mostly in a good way. There are more abstract shots, shots with partial animals, monochrome shots and shots with motion blur than was previously typical. I am sticking my neck out a little in seeking to explain this, but the name of the sponsor - Veolia - in the recent books may hint at a different judging philosophy, while the advent of serious digital photography may be making an impact. I can certainly say that my own digital SLR opened up horizons which I had previously not imagined, such as extended depth-of-field work for Macros and HDR for difficult exposures.
The winning shot is unusual this year. It was announced all over the web, so I hope I can be forgiven a small, descriptive spoiler. It shows leaf-cutter ants in silhouette, photographed from underneath the leaf with just a few heads back-lit around a hole in the leaf. It is a strong composition, courting the transition between macro and abstract. It is a unique winning shot in my memory and is quite extraordinary. I wish I had thought of it.
Having flown that flag for creative photography, I have to confess that my favourite, on short acquaintance and admitting to the unfairness of trying to "rank" such disparate and uniformly fascinating work, is a rather classic wildlife safari shot of cheetahs tripping a gazelle. Cats in Africa have been photographed so long and intensively that some of them have agents, but this shot is genuinely stunning. I know how hard it is to time and focus action pictures even with the help of technology. This shot is perfect. And I do not say that lightly. The One Earth Award section contains the usual tragedies, beginning with a mournful picture of a sea turtle entirely bound in a submerged fishing net. The wild places shot begins with a truly stunning waterfall shot - another overworked genre redeemed by a single, perfect treatment. There is a lovely picture of a giant tortoise photographed from an ants-eye perspective, and some surprising compositions showing only part of the animal.
This annual compendium is the international showcase for the best of the year's wildlife photography. I can say no more than that. I wish I could produce work that could compete in it. I certainly never miss it when the year's new book comes out, but this particular volume stands out.

Luck Favors the Prepared
2. Mai 2011
I first heard Louis Pasteur's aphorism "Luck favors the prepared" from the great bird photographer, Arthur Morris. Someone had suggested that one of his many great images showed really remarkable luck.
The Wildlife Photographer of the year contest is an annual event presented by the Natural History Museum in London, BBC Wildlife Magazine and a commercial sponsor, in 2010 Veolia Environmental Services. More than 30,000 photographers from around the world submit entries, including top level professionals and amateurs. Awards, including winner, runner up and highly commended are given in such categories as Bird Behavior, In Praise of Plants and Wild Places as well as Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Each of the award winners is beautiful, amazing and stirring. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief description of the circumstances under which the image was made and a description of the equipment used. Winning any of the awards is considered a crowning achievement for a nature photographer.
To say that one image is better than another is an invidious comparison but as I write two images stick in my mind. The first, by Bridgena Barnard, is of a young springbok, twisting in air to avoid two cheetahs. Although the animals' faces do not betray emotions, the twist of the gazelle's body clearly conveys its fear and the effort to elude its capture while the more collected forms of the cats reveal a confidence in the final outcome. The picture is graceful while conveying the life and death struggle of existence in the wild.
The second picture, by Eric Grenningsæter, made me reconsider my long-held opinion that a photograph should speak for itself without any need for title or text. It shows four white furry legs against a background of snow and stone. The photographer understood the natural inquisitiveness of a polar bear and left a camera on shore in the view of the bruin. As soon as the photographer left the bear approached the camera and began to check it out, even picking it up in its mouth, while the photographer fired the camera by remote control. The resulting image conveys the strength and inquisitiveness of the beast, as well as its powerful gentleness, since there wasn't even a tooth mark on the camera.
Every image tells of the patience of the photographer in setting up and finding the help of luck, whether it was returning to the same bloom day after day for two weeks to catch a hummingbird foraging, or the same vacant house, time after time, to discover its animal inhabitants, or getting up before dawn to follow a group of animals that one had been tracking for five days. These images may be lucky but the photographers certainly helped to make their luck.
When I first started reviewing this series I complained that the books lacked the synergistic effect that a book by a single photographer or on a single subject would have. I withdraw this complaint. The images tell of the awesome biodiversity of this planet and of the devotion of the men and women who bring us such astounding work.
