November 11, 2010: Direct from London’s Natural History Museum, a showcase of 118 of the best images from the 2010 Wildlife Phootographer of the Year Award will be on exhibit at the Australian Museum from 4 December 2010 until 13 March 2011.
Four Australians are amongst the line-up of Highly Commended photographers including Kah Kit Yoong who was awarded Runner Up in the Creative Visions of Nature category for a stirring image of an Australian Southern Swell.
A popular element to the Wildlife of the Photographer of the Year exhibition is the family-friendly ø¢â‚¬ËœMy Photo Studio’ – an interactive studio where you can get focused and get a new perspective from the lens of your own camera. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to bring their camera for the chance to zoom in on Museum specimens and receive photography tips and tricks from the Museum’s in-house experts – including using manual controls for better photos, controlling light and shadow, how to use low shutter speeds and shooting through glass.
Come along for your chance to win a trip to Christmas Island where you can put your photography tips into practice capturing the island’s spectacular flora and fauna and even the annual crab migration. This prize is courtesy of Christmas Island Tourism Association.
