Wildlife Photographer Of The Year

This exhibition, sponsored by Ørsted, the company our son works for, is currently on at the Natural History Museum in London. We went to see it last year, and it was absolutely fabulous. This year, our son sent me a link to see a live preview of some of the winning photos and a sharing of stories behind these powerful images. He watched it with me on Thursday evening, him in London and me in Scotland. We communicated by WhatsApp as we watched and listened. Some of the images are quite incredible. I took a photo of my computer screen highlighting just one, for the record. I converted it to black and white because the array of things lying around my desk was too distracting! It was a most enjoyable virtual hour spent in the company of my son and some fantastic photographers. I'd recommend a visit to the Museum if you're anywhere near London - it's open until June 2021, so I'm still hoping that I might get to visit next year. :-)

A lovely ‘virtual’ shared experience with your son. Let’s hope the country is able to open up a little more in the near future.

That was a creative and fun way to spend time with your son- and definitely inspirational when you're looking at photos like this. Good shot!

How interesting - though I'm not great with technology, isn't it a blessing to have it during these challenging times?

[PhylM-S]

So glad you did that! Fabulous image - I can only imagine the shots you saw!

In good times, this exhibition made its way around the world. Hope to come back to that.

@happysnaps Yes, there are some amazing images!

@onewing Yes it was - can't remember the age group, but it was a young photographer and I believe the topic was animal behaviour.
