The
Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition showcasing 100 winning pictures from the 2012 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition opens on June 1 at the Hong Kong Science Museum.
The competition, in its 48th year, is co-organised by the Natural History Museum in London and BBC Worldwide. It is an internationally recognised competition displaying the very best in innovative nature photography.
Selected from more than 48,000 images taken by amateur and professional photographers from 98 countries, these striking images are chosen for their aesthetic qualities and also for their extraordinary, often technically amazing and shocking, reflections of events in nature.
The photographs will be displayed using duratrans with backlit images, adding an outstanding cinematic dimension to the dramatic wildlife stills.
The exhibition is divided into eight sections, including the Wildlife Photographer of the Year which is a title given to the photographer whose picture is chosen as the most striking and memorable of all the entries.
There is also a special category for photographers aged 17 or under and the winner is given the title the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
The exhibition runs until September 1. Click
