Good timing is one of the most crucial aspects of photography. When it comes to animals, in particular, getting perfectly timed shots can be extremely difficult, as they are extremely unpredictable. Getting that kind of photograph requires plenty of patience, time, skill, and love for animals. Nature photographer Niki Colemont excels in this. He’s been capturing action shots of various animals over the last 5 years, and we feature some of his best works for you.
Niki’s photos show kingfishers, squirrels, and dogs in motion, and they are a pure joy to watch. These include a beautiful shot of a squirrel almost flying through the air with a nut firmly held in its mouth, and a stunning picture of a kingfisher diving into the water to grab its meal before it slips away. We are sure that you will love all of these amazing, perfectly timed animal photos.
