The Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photos

Category: Photos of Interest
Posted on: October 22, 2009 11:25 PM, by Joseph j7uy5

The Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photography competition winners have been announced. (The spelling, Environnement, is correct; it's a French company.)  The competition is operated by the Natural History Museum (London) and BBC Wildlife Magazine, sponsored by Veolia Environmental Services.

The overall winner is this one (click to enlarge)

My favorite is one of the Highly Commended photos in the 10-years-and-under age category:

The photo of the leaping wolf was written up on the BBC news website:

Jose Luis Rodriguez captured the imaginations of the judges with a picture that he had planned for years, and even sketched out on a piece of paper.

"I wanted to capture a photo in which you would see a wolf in an act of hunting - or predation - but without blood," he told BBC News. "I didn't want a cruel image."

With a great deal of patience and careful observation of the wolves' movements, he succeeded in taking the award-winning photograph.

Mr Rodriguez used a custom-built infrared trap to snap the wolf as it leapt into the air.

The entire collection, comprising 17 categories, is at the Natural History Museum website.  What is most remarkable to me, is how many good photographs are taken by young people.
