Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
They do say never to work with animals. News reporter Alvin Patterson Kaunda was left collapsed in laughter when a baby elephant stole the show ‘kissing’ him on the lips live on camera.
Kaunda was recording for KBC Television in Kenya and standing close to a herd of elephants. As he spoke about orphaned elephants and the importance of wildlife protection, a young elephant named Kindani kept bumping into him. A true professional, however, Kaunda remained unfazed and continued to speak.
The European Wildlife Photographer of the Year has announced its winners for 2022. Every year, the German Society for Nature Photography (GDT) chooses the best photos and selects a winner of this prestigious contest. And this year, the overall winner is Russian photographer Mike Korostelev.
Mike’s image titled Hippo World enthralled the judges, bringing him the first prize in the contest. But there are also category winners and special prize winners, and I’m sure you’ll love them just as much.
What did we say about coming too close to potentially dangerous wild animals just last week? That’s right – we don’t do that. But it looks like some people just won’t listen.
It’s a story as old as the hunger for social media “likes.” Seeing a large buffalo, a man got too close to it with his camera, trying to get that “perfect” shot. But most wild animals are like you and me, they don’t like their personal space being invaded. So, the animal charged, and the entire incident was caught on camera.
The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards never fails to make me smile with its selection of winners or finalists. And not just smile, but downright laugh my head off. And this is exactly what happened when I saw this year’s finalists.
The contest has announced the final selection of images, one of which will soon be chosen as the overall winner. And in case you need a serotonin boost for today – look no further! Scroll down and have a good laugh like I did when I first saw this year’s Comedy Wildlife finalists.
When it comes to wildlife photos, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year’s selection never disappoints. Although it’s still not time to reveal the 2022 winners, the contest has revealed a little “teaser” before the day comes. And as you’ve probably expected, the selection is great!
A frog “pool party,” fish “flying” through cloud-like algae, and a gorgeous portrait of a stag taken by a 7-year-old: these are only some of the images you’ll see in this gallery, so let’s check them out as we count down to the winner announcement.
Nature TTL Photographer of the Year has just announced its 2022 winners. Seen as a group, the photos show all sides of nature and wildlife: from tender and magical, to raw and threatening. And when we look at the individual photo that won this year’s contest: it’s all about the latter.
The winning image of Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2022 shows a caracal carrying a dead flamingo in its jaws. While we all know this is normal in the wild, the photo isn’t for the faint-hearted. Still, all of the category winners are absolutely stunning, so I invite you to go through this year’s winners and discover both the beauty and the dangers of the world around us.
Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is one of those contests that always makes me eagerly wait for its results. There is still a month left before it’s closed for entries, but hey, that doesn’t mean they won’t make our day today!
To help us start off August and this work week on a positive note, Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards has shared with us some of the best photos submitted to the contest so far. They will make you giggle, improve your mood, but also prompt you to submit your own photos and who knows – perhaps become the next Comedy Wildlife photographer of the year.
The National Audubon Society announced today the winners of the 2022 Audubon Photography Awards. Like every year, the goal of the contest is to showcase captivating behaviors and stunning looks of the birds around us. And also like every year – the selected photos show us the birds as we rarely see them.
Macro photography is fun and it opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities. Naturally, the same goes for macro photos of wildlife such as snakes, frogs, spiders, and other tiny creatures roaming the earth.
If you’d like to start photographing the wildlife up close, especially in remote locations, there are a few things to keep in mind. And in this video from B&H, photographer Colby Brown shares with you five tips to help you get started.
Being a wildlife photographer can bring you many adventures. One of them is interacting with animals that trust you and don’t want to do you any harm (sometimes even bears!).
Wildlife photographer, filmmaker, and conservationist Nick Kleer was recently lucky enough to gain the trust of a gang of meerkats. They didn’t only approach him – they climbed on him to get a higher vantage point and better see the surroundings. Thankfully, Nick’s camera was around and he filmed this adorable encounter, and I believe it’s the cutest thing you’ll see today.
