Alex Hyde - Award Winner
We are delighted that macro wildlife photographer Alex Hyde has won the ‘Hidden Britain’ category at the 2015 British Wildlife Photography Awards, designed to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our wildlife.
By understanding the behaviour of his subjects, Alex is able to capture intimate portraits of spiders, insects and other invertebrates in their natural habitats, and he explains how he came to take this superb image of a crane fly in Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park:
“Early on a crisp September morning I noticed scores of crane flies clinging to the tops of grass stems. Dew drops covered every surface including their delicate bodies, each droplet creating a tiny inverted view of the surrounding landscape.”
Alex is also an experienced tutor, and regularly holds workshops and seminars on macro photography, as well as leading overseas trips.
Want to learn more from an award-winning expert? - why not join Alex on one of our trips to Austria or Borneo?
