Wildlife Photographer of the Year - great exhibit on now in Sydney

[Troporobo]

I had the great good fortune to wander into the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney last weekend and discover it has a wonderful exhibit ongoing with 100 large format images from the competition.  Among the many stunning images is one by Alex Mustard (gobies on coral) and an amazing portfolio of horseshoe crabs by Laurent Ballesta. As an added bonus, there's also an exhibit on Valerie Taylor that features among other things a good selection of vintage UW photo and video gear, including some very early DIY housings made by Ron Taylor. It will be there until 10 November. If you're in Australia or passing through it's well worth visiting.

We saw the exhibit in Edinburgh last spring. Loved the horseshoe crabs. In Edinburgh though the photos were on digital displays, not prints.

In Sydney the images are backlit transparencies, definitely not digital, in a darkened space.  I would have much preferred high quality prints but I suppose to non-photographers the glowing images are more eye catching.
