Yesterday many members of WAUPS met for brunch before heading over to the Western Australian Museum to view the winning and highly commended pics from the annual BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.\ Here's the link to the UW World section. http://flood.nhm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wildwin/2002/ad_cat.dsml?catdescrip2=tuw The pic by Constantinos was a surprise to me as I would never have thot of taking a pic of sea urchins using a 13mm lens. With the latest thread on poverty there were two pics in the category - The World In Our Hands - that really got to me. The winning shot by Michael Nichols - Bushmeat kill. Shark carcass after finning by Stephen Wong. http://flood.nhm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wildwin/2002/ad_cat.dsml?catdescrip2=twioh If you get the chance to view them at your museum do so as the web does not do the pics justice.
