6張讓你感覺“像鳥一樣自由”的圖片
Now in its fourth year, the Bird Photographer of the Year competition received more than 13,500 entries from 63 countries, making 2019 its biggest year yet. Both professional and amateur photographers were encouraged to submit photos in the eight different categories, as well as two additional special awards.
今年是“年度最佳鳥類攝影師”評選的第四年,共有來自63個國家的13500多名攝影師入圍,這使得2019年成為有史以來規(guī)模最大的一年。鼓勵專業(yè)攝影師和業(yè)余攝影師提交八個不同類別的照片,以及另外兩個特別獎。
The winning entry, taken by UK's Caron Steele, is a stunning image of a Dalmatian pelican seemingly "dancing" on top of a frozen Lake Kerkini in Greece. Steele, who only took up photography "seriously" in 2014, shared this wise advice: "In today’s hectic life I think it is vital we strive to save the beautiful natural world around us, as ultimately I believe it will save us. Photography and being at one with nature brings a sense of calm, joy and appreciation that can strip away the stresses of life. I recommend this therapy to everyone. Save your planet and save your soul: pick up a camera and get out there today and be as free as a bird!"
獲獎作品由英國的Caron Steele拍攝,這是一張驚人的照片,一只達爾馬提亞鵜鶘似乎在希臘結(jié)冰的Kerkini湖上“跳舞”。2014年,斯蒂爾才開始“認真”地從事攝影工作。攝影和自然融為一體,帶來一種平靜、快樂和欣賞的感覺,可以消除生活的壓力。我向大家推薦這種療法。拯救你的星球,拯救你的靈魂:拿起相機,今天就出去,像小鳥一樣自由!”

"Welfare" (Photo: Thomas Hinsche/Bird Photographer of the Year)
"The male Hoopoe feeds its mate while she is brooding her clutch and she is reliant on him while she incubates the eggs. These birds have become new citizens in central Germany in recent years, benefiting from the consequences of climate change. Dry summers help, and many restored military training areas offer new habitats. In mid-May I was able to observe and photograph a wide range of the Hoopoe's interesting behavioural traits." - Thomas
“雄戴勝鳥在雌戴勝鳥孵蛋的時候喂它的配偶,而雄戴勝鳥在孵蛋的時候依賴它。近年來,得益于氣候變化的影響,這些鳥類在德國中部成為了新居民。干燥的夏季提供了幫助,許多恢復(fù)的軍事訓練地區(qū)提供了新的棲息地。5月中旬,我能夠觀察并拍攝到各種各樣的戴勝鳥有趣的行為特征。”——托馬斯

"Courtship Display" (Photo: Thomas Hinsche/Bird Photographer of the Year)
"A special courtship display ritual reveals this drake Goldeneye in all his glory. He throws his head backwards and pedals his legs to impress the females. The courtship display of these ducks begins early in the year, sometimes even in January. At sunrise I was able to observe and photograph this special moment on a small lake in my homeland." - Thomas
一場特殊的求愛儀式展示了這只公鴨的黃金眼。它向后仰著頭,蹬著腳,想給雌性留下深刻的印象。這些鴨子的求偶表演在年初開始,有時甚至在一月份。日出時,我能在家鄉(xiāng)的一個小湖上觀察并拍攝這一特殊時刻。”——托馬斯

100% Success (Photo: Thomas Hinsche/Bird Photographer of the Year)
"‘Cormorants are one of the most effective and successful hunters in the bird kingdom. Capturing the moment of hunting in an image was a great success for me, and it was at the beginning of the cold month of February that I succeeded in taking this picture. At this time of year the fish are slower because of the cold and the hunting is easier. The prey in this scene was a dwarf Catfish." - Thomas
“‘鸕鶿是鳥類王國里效率最高、最成功的獵手之一。對我來說,在一張照片中捕捉狩獵的瞬間是一個巨大的成功,而我成功地拍下這張照片是在寒冷的二月初。在每年的這個時候,由于寒冷,魚的速度變慢了,捕獵也更容易了。這一幕的獵物是一條小鯰魚。”——托馬斯
