For anyone planning on being in the Detroit, Michigan (USA) area in the next few months, the Detroit Zoo is once again hosting a travelling exhibit of the BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year. This is the contest put on by BBC Wildlife Magazine, displayed at the London Museum of Natural History, and underwritten by the BG Group.
http://flood.nhm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wildwin/2002/ In the past, the 90 or so finalists were displayed at the Zoo as mounted prints, in sizes averaging about 16" x 20", with the winners being shown at 24 x 30 or thereabouts. This year, they are displaying the photos as they are seen at the host museum, as large transparencies mounted in light boxes. The two winning photos are displayed at around 3 ft x 5 ft. This is truly a stunning exhibit if you have any interest in Nature Photography, or just photography in general. It's well worth the admission price of US$9. It will be here until January 18, 2004.
