Time Out says Rate it

Photogenic plants, fascinating animals and dramatic landscapes are celebrated in this annual photography competition and exhibition, a joint enterprise between the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine. This year the exhibition includes the results of a new award, Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year, which celebrates six pictures that tell a memorable story. A key component of the show are the stories which accompany the photos, describing the often remarkable conditions under which each photographer captured their winning shot. Esa Malkonen's striking image, 'Back in, fronts out', for instance, records the carefully choreographed hatching ritual of chinstrap penguins in Antarctica - half of each parental couple sits on their eggs while the other party ambles to the sea to look for food.

Absolutely amazing photos, certainly more like 80 rather than 24. Unfortunately we were in the last time slot at 4.45 and we felt we could have stayed much longer than the hour. It is definitely worth the £9.

Not sure which exhibition Matt went to see. There are loads more photos! More like 80 or so. It's worth every penny and has some of the most amazing images. Well worth seeing!

rip off!! £9 quid for 24 photographs? Thats like going to cinema and paying to see a second of action (24frames per sec) and then getting turfed out!! dont bother.
