International Po Delta Birdwatching
Fair 2005
2° edition
April 28th - May 1st 2005, Comacchio (Ferrara)
Photography and birdwatching are two tightly related
aspects, therefore are several the activities foreseen during the
exhibition for professional photographers, keens of naturalistic
photography, amateurs and newbie.
Beyond the fairgrounds where will be fitted the best
international optics and cameras companies, it is our pleasure to
dedicate a specific area where it will be hosts the most
important naturalistic photo contest in the World: the
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR EXHIBITION
2004.
This show is organized by the Natural Hystory Museum of
London and the BBC Wildlife Magazine and it’s the result of an
annual contest, which exists since 21 years, which gathers the
best international naturalistic photographers.
The contest, started in 1964 with only 3 categories, has grown
up passing from the original 500 pictures to the actual 18.000
pictures, becoming, also thanks to the BBC Wildlife Magazine
help, an international contest. Actually the show wanders all
over the World, through 38 countries, including U.S.A., Brazil,
Spain, Australia, China, Morocco.
There will be available more than 90 pictures, divided into about
15 categories, that will represents birdlife, mammals, flora, etc.,
as seen as only the ability of the professional photographers
can.
During the exhibition it will be possible to attend, escorted by
the photographers of Delta in focus, national professionals who
has already worked in the PO Delta Park, to photograph
workshops. These workshops will take place both at the
fairgrounds and directly on site, in this way, after a first
introductory session, the photographer will be enable to have an
incredible experience directly in the valley. For the more expert
one, there will be the opportunity to reserve night sessions too.
The workshops want to be an occasion to bring the audience to
the natural world through the emotions given by a lens. Also,
with the event “Follow the Delta’s routes” intended for the
