"Wildlife" – Silversnapper's Choice


Subject: "Wildlife"
Any creature, any size, from a bug to a blue whale, as long as it is free and living in the wild.


Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!



DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY June 18th.
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.


The Rules

1. Any photo submitted for the Weekly Photo Challenge must be taken using a Nikon Camera! Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread and taken by YOU including all parts of composites!

2. If the EXIF does not show using a browser EXIF app, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is required. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

3. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

4. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted. It is acceptable to delete a post and submit a new entry, replacing the image within a post is not.

5. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote for the top 3 photos for this challenge!


There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

I was hoping to get some good shots of fish in my local country park angling lake but sadly, in the mini heatwave we've been having here in the UK, the water quality has gone deteriorated and turned very murky. The poor fish are really suffering and there were dozens of them at the surface, desperately trying to extract the extra oxygen available near the surface. :(

@Silversnapper Sorry this image does not qualify for the Photo challenge per rule number one. You still have time to submit another image.

Apologies, my bad, I had forgotten that I'd taken that camera for a rare outing. :rolleyes: Image deleted.

To atone for my previous faux pas I was able to get out with the correct camera yesterday. Alas, apart from a bunch of anglers, the only wildlife around was a gull. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained' as the saying goes, so here is my first, and almost certainly last, bird in flight. At least I haven't embarrassed myself by missing a challenge I set. ;)
