Stunning imagery from the world of Canon photography

Stunning winning Canon images from our ‘In the Wild’ themed photo competition

01 Scamper-scamper by phil Thornton

Phil’s winning shot just shows you don’t have to travel far from home to find captivating wildlife – he shot this elusive hedgehog at the end of his drive! It might not be an exotic location, but nothing says ‘In the Wild’ more than a well-executed image of a rare species. Phil has done extremely well to execute the final result, using a long lens and wide aperture to create an intimate portrait. The low-level perspective also makes us engage more with the spiny subject. Well done! Lens Canon EF 300mm f/2.8l IS USM Exposure 1/640 sec, f/3.2, ISO800
