Wildlife Photographer of the Year

The City Council is delighted to bring to Salisbury the nationally and internationally acclaimed Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition, which showcases the very best in Wildlife Photography from across the globe. It is an international leader in the artistic representation of the natural world and a competition that photographers worldwide aspire to.

The exhibition, which is organised by The Natural History Museum in London, will run from 20 July – 17 August in the stunning setting of the Banqueting Hall within Salisbury Guildhall.

Exhibition highlights include, the much coveted title of Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year awarded to Hungarian photographer Bence Máté for his image A marvel of ants, a simple shot that captures the complexity of the behaviour of leaf-cutter ants in the Costa Rican rainforest. Máté is clearly a master of his craft with an artist’s eye. Fergus Gill from Scotland was crowned Veolia Environnement Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year for the second year in a row. His image of a fieldfare, The frozen moment, was judged to be the most memorable of all the pictures by photographers aged 17 or under.

Claire Burden, said, “This is an amazing exhibition and a real coup for Salisbury, to coincide with the exhibition we are planning a series of events to complement the theme. Check out our website for details of photography workshops in conjunction with Trinity Photography and other organisations. The exhibition will certainly appeal to keen photographers and wildlife lovers alike.”

big butterfly count. 13th to 31st July

We had a Butterfly Walk on Monday evening as you know.
Meanwhile from the the 16th to the 31st of July is the 

big butterfly count.

The big butterfly count is a nationwide survey aimed at helping us assess the health of our environment. It was launched in 2010 and an impressive 10,000 people took part, counting 210,000 butterflies and day-flying moths across the nation. We hope that many more people will join this year's big butterfly count (16th-31st July 2011).
To take part simply note down the butterflies you see during a 15 minute period and email the result.
See http://www.bigbutterflycount.org/about for more details.

Summer 99

A message from Sarah Shelly. Fools100 was great fun and extending it and getting new people doing a similar thing is a great idea.

Hi everyone,

As we get to the end of this project, I find myself reluctant to stop, so I have decided to carry on. I find it easier to work towards a goal so will aim for another 100. I thought that 'A Summer 99' (plus one for luck of course to make up a nice round number!) conjures up a hot summer and my favourite ice-cream as hopefully we still have plenty more of both to come!

So I am going to set up a Summer 99 flickr page to start from 10 July and would like to invite anyone who wishes to come and join in.

It would be nice if we could get new people as well. If anyone has friends or relatives who may want to join in that would be good; my sister will be joining us this time as well.

The system will be the same as before, send an email to the site to be accepted and then off you go. I know a few people have already said they might want to carry on, so come and join in the fun of a Summer 99!!

love Sarah
For contact details please ask me first. Peter. [my details are on our web site as webmaster. This is protected hopefully]

PRESS RELEASE

Inspiring Salisbury

Photographers living in and visiting Salisbury are invited to get their cameras out for an exciting summer photography competition.
Organised by Salisbury City Council and Salisbury Arts Centre, this year’s competition has the topical theme of ‘Celebrating Constable and the Landscape’.

‘Images should be a contemporary take on Salisbury’s landscape, maybe even a suggestion of the kind of photograph Constable might have taken if he had used a camera’, Polly Mason, Parks Assistant, explained. ‘Images should be of one of Salisbury’s beautiful parks or green spaces. There are categories for over and under 18 year olds and we would love photographers of all abilities to take part’.
If inspiration is needed, then the Arts Centre’s exhibition ‘A Dialogue on Landscape and Constable’ opens on the 23 June. Elsewhere, the competition also coincides with Salisbury Museum’s ‘Constable and Salisbury’.
The closing date for entries is Friday 8 July and should be sent to Polly at the City Council on CD, or via email to info@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk.  Full details and some hints and tips are available on either www.salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk or www.salisburyartscentre.co.uk


Ends:
Issued on:   22 June 2011
