Photo Challenge

Wildlife

March 6, 2012 by Jonathan

As the weather is bright and sunny, your Challenge this week is wildlife.

Please note this excludes pets, but you can have pretty much any other type of animal, including:

  • Captive zoo or farm animals
  • Urban “vermin” e.g. squirrels
  • Insects

Try to challenge yourself with this one. It’s an ideal opportunity to take a trip to your local zoo, nature reserve or deer park.

Please send your entries in by noon on Tuesday 13th March. Have fun!

Challenge Admin, I enjoy taking photos mostly of landscapes and architecture - but I will try anything! I mostly shoot film and I spend a lot of time in my darkroom trying to get the perfect print. I'm a sysadmin for a living and I also enjoy cycling and music technology.

    I’m really looking forward to this one! It’s a great excuse to find a park/field/wood to just go and sit in quietly, listening to your surroundings and keep an eye open.

    I’m going to try and find at least 5 minutes a day to hide in a bush and wait for a photo!

    I say that, but by Sunday I’ll have given up and gone to the Zoo…

    I’ve just realised how dodgy “hide in a bush and wait for a photo” sounds

    Yeah, and it’ll look even worse when you ask the prison guards for Internet access to post your entry…

    Hi Robert, the Exif data for that image says “Date Taken: 2009:06:23 20:26:22″ so either the clock is wrong on your camera, or you didn’t take it this week…

    Just sayin…

    http://www.paulseward.com/photos/albums/2012/march-2012/DSC_5963_squirrel_medium.jpg is mine this week.

    I prefer this one:

    But it was taken before the challenge was announced (by about 4 hours), so isn’t really admissable
