Bognor Regis Photographer's Slime Mold Image Shown at Wildlife Exhibition

A West Sussex photographer is one of two from the UK selected for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. Kutub Uddin's photograph, called a "slime family portrait," shows a line of blue spheres on stalks growing on a fallen tree in Slindon Wood. The reproductive parts of a slime mold each measure a couple of millimetres in diameter and were captured using a specialist lens.

The exhibition, now in its 61st year, recently opened at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. It is on tour from the Natural History Museum in London and runs until 6 September. " "The technical ability behind them just blows my mind, and they really meld together the beauty of the natural world, art and really important issues like climate change," she added.

Originally from Bangladesh, he said his passion is to visit woodland to highlight the beauty and importance of the hidden world found within. "Most people would walk past and never notice these things, but to me, they're fascinating," he added.
