Born in Africa to French wildlife photographer parents, Tippi Degré had a most unusual childhood.

Great photographers:
Clark Little (surf photography),
Nick Brandt (mostly African wildlife),
John Hyde (mostly wildlife and Alaska),
Veronika Pinke (landscapes),
Dale Allman (miscellaneous; particularly beautiful are his Australian cityscapes and the HDR/DRI photos),
Ansel Adams (the undisputed master of nature photography who died in 1984; famous quotes: "You don't take a photograph, you make it.", "A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. "),
Michel Rajkovic (mostly marine landscape, exclusively in black and white). And
again, as a tribute to a gifted artist who died far too early, the work of
Bobby Model (adventure photographer). Last but not least:
Onexposure, probably the biggest collection of quality photography on the net.

Polar bears of Churchill, Manitoba. Wildlife photographer Ken Bereskin has a nice collection of polar bears
frolicking in the snow.
This itchy bear
is so frustrated, he's using the rippled ice of a frozen lake to
scratch himself. If you need a change of temperature, he also has
over 500 images
of wildlife from Uganda and Kenya, including
big
cats (a mother
cuddling
with
her cubs, a cheetah
chomping
down on a gazelle, and a young lioness
shredding
a skeleton to pieces),
great
apes, and
other wildlife (
the
lowly hyena eating the cheetah's leftovers, a black-headed heron
eating
a venomous boomslang snake, and a
scary-looking
vulture taking it all in from above). He also has a
smaller
collection of desert wildlife from the dunes of Etoshia National
Park in Namibia. (His real job is working for Apple, and he has a
Panther blog
that hasn't been updated in eons, but evidently that's not as much fun
as chasing after hungry carnivorous animals in the sweltering heat, or
risking frostbite in the snow).

Politics storms the museum Earlier this month, the National Museum of Natural History opened "Seasons of Life and Land," an exhibit of wildlife photographs by artist-naturalist Subhankar Banerjee. If you go to Washington, you'll find the show hung in the museum's Baird Ambulatory Gallery, essentially a basement hallway installed with lights. Just two months ago, however, it was prepared to run in a more complete form in a premiere gallery on the museum's main floor, alongside a major exhibit of botanical paintings. What happened?

NaturArt - fed up with man's ugliness to man? Escape to this Budapest gallery's oasis of nature photography. Don't be off-put by the Hungarian text, hit start and wait for the main menu, then go to
portfolios to access the works of about 30 photographers,
Tagok for mini galleries, or
diaporama for a lovely film. Flash & sound alert, but very well worth it if you have the time to explore.
