Photographs of dragonflies using a technique which has taken a decade to perfect have been shortlisted in the finals of a prestigious award.<\/p>\n

Rare images of light refracting through the wings of birds taken by Andrew Fusek Peters have also made the final of the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2024.<\/p>\n

The Shropshire-based professional said he was honoured to have six images shortlisted. <\/p>\n

His work had been a “labour of love,” he added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One image of a dragonfly against the Milky Way, taken on the Long Mynd wildlife nature reserve, had taken eight years to get right, he explained. <\/p>\n

“After all those years of trying I eventually got it right last year,” he said. <\/p>\n

The image was taken while “lying down in the bog getting bitten to death by midges,” he added.<\/p>\n

“But the time does pay off.<\/p>\n

“I love to set myself problems and work out how to solve them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Other shortlisted images of birds photographed with rainbow wings were taken in his back garden. <\/p>\n

“The light has to be at a certain angle, you have to be shooting into the light because if I was on the other side then all I would be getting was the first sunlight on the birds.<\/p>\n

“There is literally about 15 minutes in the morning when the light is at the right angle.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
