some of the best wildlife shots ever

steunited · 04-02-2010, 09:06

mtracerz · 04-02-2010, 09:10

Thats about all I can say to them really.
They are by far, the best captures I have ever seen, I love them.
Some cracking elephant shots, including the first one.

Bookmarked that page for future inspiration

Thanks for sharing.

DiddyDave · 04-02-2010, 09:10

Yep I'd have to agree

Many of these sort of wildlife shots we've all seen hundreds or more times before, but the (huge) amount of processing has brought another dimension to these images over the majority of great wildlife shots I've seen

Thanks for the link

amazing. Thanks for sharing...

Ajophotog · 04-02-2010, 09:11

Those are just stunning, thanks for sharing the info

Grendel · 04-02-2010, 09:22

They certainly cancel out any thoughts that wildlife doesn't work in black & white!

Some stunning imagery there

photostar_1 · 04-02-2010, 09:44

His work is an absolute inspiration and I have read quite a few articles about him. What I wouldn't give for a masterclass on processing from him.........if ever he decides to run wildlife courses, book me in.

Sheer genius.

magpieant · 04-02-2010, 09:55

Oh wow!

They are absolutely incredible!!

Trying to pick a favourite and I can't!!

Many thanks to Ste for the OP !!!

Nothing short of breathtaking.

I hope loads of people spot your post and get to see those.

Briony · 04-02-2010, 10:47

With photos like this it only gives you the hope and ispiration that one day may be one day you might be able to take 1 good shot let alone a whole load like this.

I am absolutely gob smacked and could have them allaround the house.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Dave450 · 04-02-2010, 10:50

Stunning! Simply stunning!!!

scarey · 04-02-2010, 10:53

Absolutely stunning images.

Thanks for sharing the link.

GarynLea · 04-02-2010, 10:55

A great link and certainly something to aspire to but I feel that no matter how much processing, you just cannot make a Robin look quite so dramatic

But I do stand to be proved wrong

DC2Z · 04-02-2010, 11:12

Stunning images.
What an amazing collection

Busby · 04-02-2010, 16:57

Along with my favourite photographer John Hyde, Nick Brandt is at another level to most mortals and in my humble opinion the best there is working in black and white.
Check out next months BBC Wildlife magazine because they are running a special on Nick's work.

Ste Manns · 04-02-2010, 17:02

I read an interview with him a couple of months ago - if I remember rightly he shoots on film with an old manual SLR, and does minimum PP after digitizing the results. He basically waits, sometimes weeks at a time, for the shot he has pre-visualized, until the shot materializes for him. Superb wildlife 'tog, very inspirational

That's an interesting comment actually - what did we do before colour film?

Discuss...

Ricky T · 04-02-2010, 17:13

WOW, i know you should never talk your self down but i can't image ever getting anything like as good as those.

neilyb · 04-02-2010, 19:05

You really have to see them printed to appreciate them, the books are superb. By far the best wildlife (nay THE BEST) tog in the world today, and he uses medium format and medium range lenses (upto 200mm in 35mm format).

rellik666 · 04-02-2010, 20:32
