The best wildlife pictures of 2018
The Winners Of The “Wildlife Photographer Of The Year 2018″ Contest Have Finally Been Selected From Among 45,000 Different Photos, Which We Will Look At In This Article.
After a relatively long wait, the organizers finally announced the winners of the ” Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018 ” contest. The primary winner of this year’s competition was a Dutch photographer named Marcel Van Oosten, who was able to capture the image of the “Golden Couple.” In this image (which can be seen above), two Chinese snub-nosed monkeys can be seen.
Van Oosten captured the image above in the Chilling Mountains (the only place on earth where these endangered monkeys can be seen).
In the “Golden Couple” photo, two male and female monkeys are depicted while watching the war between the two male leaders of their 50-necked herd.
The American Museum of Natural History, which has been in charge of the “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” contest for many years, claims that Van Olsen spent days learning the behavior of a herd of 50 monkeys to predict their subsequent behavior.
Finally, he could be in the right place and capture such a beautiful photo at the right time.
It should be noted that a Nikon D810 camera took the photo above with a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens and a Nikon SB-910 flash. In the following, you can see the winners of other branches of the competition.
