Just want to share this Twitter link Walking on the wild side: Photographer's stunning photos up close with nature's most dangerous animals | Mail Online.

Photographer Jonathan Griffiths got his camera only two years ago.

Those are some pissed off looking animals. Let's just hope he doesn't end up like Steve Irwin.

Quote from the story:

He got a camera only two years ago as a birthday present from his fiancee, with the intention of photographing their newborn son.

Makes me feel like a chump! 2 Years & he gets shots like that!!

Tame animals = booooring.

Sorry, but all these animals have such extensive contact with humans that they allow that kind of up-close-ness simply because they're used to it. That invalidates any kind of "awesomeness" these shots may have

Artistically valid. As portraits, valid. As wildlife photos, meh.

Ditto. National Geographic only otherwise no wet in pants.
SI Swimsuit, Victoria's Secrets, pro models, celebrities = boring.

"Tame" or not, I still don't think I'd get that close. I'd rather use a 400mm with a tele-converter than an 18 mm.

i would like to see you get in the "tame" black cats face, now that would be a funny photo

Dont get me wrong: theyre great portraits. But claiming that they're amazing wild animal photos is terribly misleading.
