More competition photos

This time for the ZSL Animal Photography Prize: You’ll pobably recognise most or all of them, though I’ve made a few minor adjustments to most. I’ve also started using 500px – find me at http://500px.com/simonphotos/

From 3000 to 20, then 6 – with your help

I’ve done the easy bit – sifting 3000 photos down to 88 that I think have competition potential. Now comes the hard part. I need to get from 88 photos I like down to 20 (for Wildlife Photographer of the Year), then down to 6 (for the ZSL Animal Photography Prize). And I’d like your…

Last of the photos

Photos from our last stay in Madagascar – Vakona Lodge, and the Andasibe rainforest. It’s also where we went to Lemur Island, which provides a safe and natural, though not entirely free, home for ex-pets and their descendants. Being surrounded by water, they’re safe from predators and won’t go anywhere: lemurs can’t swim. As ex-pets,…

See the full gallery here.

Back to Berenty

Back only in the virtual sense, alas.  But it’s still been fun. I’m finally (!) editing the 3000-odd photos we brought back from Madagascar, and trying to spot the ones I might put into next year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year.  No real hope of getting placed, but I’ve made it to the semis before,…
