Eurasian kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) to backlight an early morning of autumn. This kingfisher liked to perch on this rock in a river to hunt tadpoles since there were few fish due to the drought. The bird sometimes flew up, stopped in the air and plummeted to gain strength and penetrate the water. Grazalema, Cádiz. Southern Spain.

Last autumn I had the chance to visit the Falkland Islands. This remote archipelago is famous for a big variety of Flora and Fauna and I was especially looking forward to see the four most common Penguin species breeding on the Falklands. During the last days of my two weeks stay I found an area along the beach where Gentoo Penguins used to surf in the waves when coming back from their hunting dives. After some attempts I got this image I was hoping for which I’ve titled “Surfing on the other side”. Penguins are omnipresent in our society but it’s easy to forget the dangers they already have to and will have to face in future. Overfishing an climate change is having a huge impact on their environment and their life.

De plus un orgae s’est invité en même temps. C’est la première fois de ma vie que j’étais dans une tempête de neige orageuse. Photographiée ce printemps dans le Jura vaudois en Suisse.

On my way to Nilgala I saw this Baya Weaver nest hanging on the tip of a tree bough. The Beaver was flying about and was about to enter its nest through the funnel like opening. This is a safety mechanism that they have taken to make sure the nestlings will not become prey -especially to snakes. On my way to Nilgala I saw this Baya Weaver nest hanging on the tip of a tree bough. The Baya Weaver was flying and was about to enter to its nest through the funnel like opening. This is a safety mechanism that they have taken to make sure the nestlings will not become prey -especially to snakes. By constructing the nest with the entrance at the bottom and the main nesting chamber above, the weaver birds create a clever deterrent against snakes. Snakes typically approach from the ground, and the design of the nest makes it difficult for them to reach the nestlings. The narrow and downward-facing entrance acts as a barrier, preventing snakes from easily climbing into the nest and preying on the young birds. It’s fascinating to learn about the intricate adaptations that animals like the Baya Weavers develop to protect their offspring from potential predators. The construction of the nest with the entrance at the bottom and the main nesting chamber above is a remarkable example of how natural selection shapes behaviors and structures in animals. This kind of behavior showcases how animals can find innovative solutions to the challenges posed by their environment. The Baya Weaver’s strategy of placing the entrance in a way that deters snakes from accessing the nest demonstrates the remarkable ways in which animals can adapt to their surroundings to increase the chances of their offspring’s survival. Observations like the one I made during my trip to Nilgala provided a valuable insight into the lives of these creatures and the amazing ways they have evolved to thrive in their habitats. It’s a reminder of the diversity of life on our planet and the complex relationships between s

A bar tailed godwit strolls at dusk during its postnuptial migration along an estuary on the Asturian coast. Thanks to having a very luminous telephoto lens I was able to extend the day until the streetlights around us were lit so that I could capture the reflections on the water that make the godwit appear to be walking on fire.

I was waiting in the boat in an area where a purple heron was trying to catch something from the marsh. Then suddenly it jabbed and pulled out a snake. As the heron tried to swallow the snake, it coiled around the neck of the heron. It was a long and intriguing battle between the snake a and the heron. At the end the perseverance of the heron won.

One day, in the summer of 2019, I decided to take a tour through the Danube Delta. I looked for accommodation and left Bucharest for Tulcea. I didn’t even leave home well and I identified a small problem with the car, so I didn’t want to risk anything and postponed my departure. Since I still left the house, I decided tough to take a walk in the nature, not very far from Bucharest. I was walking towards a forest, when I discovered this road that was surrounded by sunflower crops. I sat and looked at it for tens of seconds, thinking how beautiful it would be to take a shot there, with a wild animal. But since I couldn’t imagine giving up the forest, I continued my way. After about two hours of waiting in the forest, during which I photographed roe deer, I walked back to the car which was about 2 km away. I reached the road again and the surprise was huge when I saw this little fox.

Araignée sauteuse photographiée sur une feuille de palmier dans un jardin à l’Ile de Ré, Charente Maritime, grâce à un objectif macro monté sur un Canon EOS R7 et une grande ouverture. Cette minuscule araignée sauteuse d’à peine quelques centimètres était à la recherche d’une petite proie à se mettre sous la dent lorsque je l’ai aperçue. Sa position curieuse la tête à l’envers et le beau graphisme des feuilles de palmier m’ont fait prendre la photo.

In the silence of the summer forest, on the branch of a mighty oak tree, two stag beetles met. One of them raised his paw as if in greeting, and the second beetle reciprocated. It seems that they have known each other for a long time and are glad to meet…
I used a macro lens and Focus Stacking (several frames with different focus points) to increase the depth of field in the frame to capture all the beauty and detail of the beetles.

I found this small emperor butterfly (Saturnia pavonia) near my hometown, in the Duna-Ipoly National Park, during a spring photo shoot. The comb-like feelers caught my attention the most, so I tried to depict them in an interesting way. The setting sun came to my aid for this. I was so engrossed in photographing the groping that I only realized at home that I hadn’t taken a photo that showed the whole animal.

Au cours des prospections nocturnes, j’ai pu trouver ce superbe individu de Vipère des palmiers. Un juvénile d’une vingtaine de centimètres seulement. Il était camouflé dans la végétation de la forêt tropicale, sur une plante à près d’un mètre du sol. J’ai privilégié un gros plan afin de mettre en avant les couleurs incroyables de ses écailles : vert, bleu, jaune… ainsi que son oeil doré. Pour obtenir les contrastes souhaités, j’ai utilisé un flash déporté avec un diffuseur. En sentant ma présence, la vipère sortait régulièrement sa langue et j’avais l’espoir de figer cet instant.

I captured this image of the scorpion in the sand dunes of Thar desert at jaisalmer in a late monsoon evening. The scorpion was lit up by a uv flashlight which made the scorpion glow blue as its exoskeleton emitted blue luminescence. The wind swept sand pattern was illuminated by normal led flashlight at glancing angle. I used a wide angle lens to capture this photograph.

I took this photo of a Clematis vitalba in the Duna-Ipoly National Park in Hungary. I found this clematis seed frozen in ice during a winter photo shoot. I found it very interesting because of its special shape. Fortunately, I was able to light it from behind, so this picture was taken.

From a recent trip to Northern Norway, its forests at the end of September are full of color and boast a great chromatic range in their ferns.
I set out to make an intimate photograph that captured the essence of these birch forests full of ferns. As it usually happens to me I ended up taking this picture in a steep area working to secure the tripod and compose the scene. Slight underexposure to saturate the color in a natural way and cover the areas that do not contribute to the composition.

I have taken this photo in the Duna-Ipoly National Park in Hungary. I really like photographing spiders and I also consider their webs to be a real work of art. I thought a lot about how to photograph the spider’s web in a more special way. At night, I illuminated the water-drop net from behind, and by shifting the sharpness , only the bokeh is visible. The picture was taken with the multiexpo inside the camera.

A lone elephant is spotted here feasting on a very vibrant patch of a vast garbage site. As some of the largest waste dumping sites are placed very much close to the Important Dry Zone forests in Sri Lanka, Elephants regularly visits these sites, looking for an easy meal and finally absorbing microplastics and polythene along with the food, which are life threatning elements. This is only a small portion of a massive landfill which also demonstrates the bad practices and the inconsistencies of waste management techniques in an island that is home to 10% of the world’s Asian elephant population.

Ce survol en drone illustre de manière assez brutale et dramatique cet acte fort d’une nature qui reprend ses droits.

There are 50 millions of red crabs living in Christmas Island of Australia. Every November after first rain, the crabs start to march to beach or sea cliff to dip sea water and prepare for mating. Millions of red crabs suddenly appear and moving to one direction is amazing and one of the most incredible wildlife migration in the world. All crabs gather around the forests close to shore and females and males mate. Then in weeks females when ready move to beach or sea cliff again and release all eggs/larvae. After about 3-4 weeks, these larvae return back to beach by ocean waves and then millions of tiny 1mm larvae become little crabs on beach and start to move into forest and hide for 2-3 years, before getting big enough not to be eaten by others or birds. So from November to January, if you travel to Christmas Island, if lucky enough, you will witness this great migration and very interesting crab behavior, such as females releasing eggs together in one early morning before sunrise, adults eating crab babies, larvae returning from sea and transforming into little crabs, etc. I was so lucky that when I was there in December 2022, I encounter the wonder of females spawning (releasing eggs/larvae) together with millions of larvae / crab babies returning from ocean. It is said that not very often to see in about ten year, especially you can take photos easily of a female crab with hundreds of thousands eggs beneath it belly surrounded by thousands of little crab babies.

Urbanization is rapidly encroaching on many natural environments, severely damaging biodiversity. However, there are some species, that have been able to exploit the humans’ presence. In the past few years, the city of Rome has been colonized by an urban population of wild boars (Sus scrofa) attracted by the waste of the city center.
I had been following a family of boars near my home for several months, observing them feeding on rubbish at night, when one day a controversial graffiti appears on one of the dumpsters of the street.
On the first night I immediately set my camera-trap to wait for the arrival of the boars, but nothing arrived. I tried for several consecutive nights to get a good shot, when finally the entire family of wild boars decided to feed near the graffiti dumpster.

Initially i couldnt see the catch because of bush in front but when he took it up I saw the snake with red color and according to my tracker this snake mostly lives in water and can go both ways. Finally before he take everything inside mouth he took his fase up and I could get this shot closly.
