The Gallery - Creatures

The subject for this week's Gallery is Creatures. Oh no! Which photograph to post? I have so many creatures crawling, swimming, sitting etc around my computer in my photograph files. So I'm going to post a few of my favourites. If anyone wants to buy any of these photographs I'm more than happy to sell them to you. Just email me :) They're not expensive

So I'm going to start with my favourite creature and the one that has won me 2nd place in an international photography magazine competition, and has won me a couple of medals for our photography club including Digital Image of the Year. My beloved bald eagle shot. (I know a lot of you have seen it before - sorry.)


And then there's a rather gruesome looking fly


Everyone's favourite (apart from the bloody annoying one on the telly!) a meerkat


A very loving pair of Giraffe


And one of my favourite favourites, this chimp taking a nap.


I could put 100 photographs of creatures in here and still have more. I love photographing creatures. Unfortunately, most of these creatures were cages at Chester Zoo not running around free, but if it weren't for zoo's we wouldn't have half the creatures in the world, they'd be extinct.

    I am not surprise you won prizes with that photo - and would not be surprised if you won some more prizes with the rest! LOVE LOVE LOVE the fly. Not gruesome at all. FABULOUS! Ok, I really do need a better lense.. and then some lessons!

  10. LOL@ giraffe size backdrop. That really made me laugh. I got lucky in that they were stood in the doorway to their giraffe house and the good old clone tool in photoshop let me clear it all up to a nice even black tone :)

  13. I like the orang utans too, they've moved them at Chester Zoo and you can't get close enough to get a good shot anymore :(

  15. I would be happy to oblige :) I'm actually thinking of getting some made up to sell around Christmas time. I almost did one last year but when I got it nearly together I decided that none of the shots were good enough so scrapped the idea.

  19. It worked a treat - the giraffes at Blair Drummond insist on standing in front of a horrible timber fence - they're really not at all accommodating :)

  25. There are some people who just put the rest of us to shame: you and Mrs W and Heidi, to name just three (after a very good meal out, so I'm sure there are more). These are just amazing. Thank you.
