2014 wildlife photographer of the year winners
TRANSCRIPT

The winners of the 2014 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition were announced at a gala event at the Natural
History Museum attended by Kate Middleton.
Michael "Nick" Nichols of the US has been named Overall Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014 for his photo, The Last
Great Picture, depicting the five females of the Vumbi pride lying at rest with their cubs on a kopje (a rocky outcrop), in
Tanzania's Serengeti.
He photographed them in infrared, which he says "cuts through the dust and haze, transforms the light and turns the
moment into something primal, biblical almost". A few months later, he heard that the pride had ventured into land beyond
the park and that three females had been killed.
Grand title winnerThe last great picture by Michael ‘Nick’ Nichols (USA)

Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014
Grand title winnerStinger in the sun by Carlos Perez Naval (Spain) 3
Carlos Perez Naval from Spain was named winner of the 10 Years and Under category, and Overall Young Wildlife Photographer of the
Year for Stinger in the Sun.
Aware of Carlos's presence, the common yellow scorpion is flourishing its sting as a warning. Carlos had found it basking on a flat stone
in a rocky area near his home in Torralba de los Sisones, north-east Spain. Carlos decided to experiment with a double exposure (his
first ever) so he could include the sun.
He started with the background, using a fast speed so as not to overexpose the sun, and then shot the scorpion, using a low flash.
