On Saturday 31st of October I headed over to Gloucester to see the British Wildlife Photography Awards. This touring exhibition shows off the winning and highly commended photographs from this years competition. I managed to get a few pictures of the photographs and the layout of the exhibition before a member of staff walked in so I thought it was worth posting them here.
The exhibition was set in a small country house museum called Nature In Art that often holds art shows and craft fairs. Although the exhibition space was quite small and basic ( It was set in 2 rooms and a corridor) I felt the overall setting in the middle of the countryside was perfect for an exhibition all about British nature.
There were several categories in the competition but my favourite by far was the black and white photos. I also loved the Botanical Britain category which featured several macro shots and some very vivid floral photographs.
I'm hoping to write up a post evaluating my favourite and least favourite photographs from the show soon as I think it will help me to be critical of my own work in the future.
I really enjoyed the exhibition, some of the photos were incredible and clearly took a lot of work and patience to produce. For one of the assignments this year we have to go to an exhibition and review it. I've been to see a few over the last couple of weeks and I'm still choosing which one I want to write about but I'm very tempted to pick this one.
