Incredible photography from amateurs and professionals in competition for this prestigious award.
Anyone who has watched the BBC’s “Planet Earth" or “Life" series will know the sometimes death-defying lengths that photographers and film-makers will go to in order to capture images that would otherwise be completely unseen by 99.9% of the global population.
But thank heavens they do, as every year this exhibition awes, inspires and educates with its remarkable collection of professional and amateur photography of the wonders of nature. Prepare for the familiar and the totally alien as photographers go to – quite literally – the ends of the earth to capture wildlife in its most honest state, as well as loveable, home-spun pictures that are inspirational and will want to make everyone blow the dust of their old camera’s and head into the garden!
