I like black and white photographs. And that includes animals and wildlife photography. Some of the photos you see here can be downloaded for free (in the description of each photo this option is mentioned) and other photos can be ordered as fine art photography prints. If you want to see my other photos that are free to download, you can find them on my website LibreShot.com. On the other hand, if you are interested in fine art photography, check out the Art Prints section of this site.

Swan in Black & White. My favorite photo I took while waiting for covid-19 tests on the embankment in Prague. Read more in the detail of the image, where you can also buy it as a wall-art print.
An abstract wildlife photo - Great Egret. Abstract photograph of a heron sitting on a branch in a birch forest. You can buy the photo as a wall art print.
Both photos you see above I took at the Lítožnický pond on the outskirts of Prague in the village Dubeč. It's my favorite place and if you ever come to Prague and want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, I recommend visiting this place. It is absolutely the most beautiful in the early morning or at sunset.
I took these photos from the opposite bank of the pond using a 500mm Nikkor lens. I took the first picture using the standard method. But for the second one, I used the method of moving the camera vertically directly during the exposure. This resulted in this abstract image.
Black and white photo of a flock of seagulls in Prague. The photo is available as a fine art print.
I took this picture on the Novotny footbridge in Prague by the Vltava river. Hundreds of seagulls nest on the wooden icebergs that protect the famous Charles Bridge.
Do you also like how the symmetry of the perched seagulls is broken by one bird just landing? If so, I agree with you. There were several other photos taken that day but only this one is interesting because of the bird.
It is also important for the composition that the landing seagull is in about a third of the frame, which is roughly equivalent to the golden ratio. I used a Nikon D7100 with a Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens.
Cats
Black and white photo of a cat stalking its prey. It's actually my mom's cat and the only thing she was lurking for was me. The photo is available for free download.

Black and white artistic close-up photograph of a cow's head. Feel free to download the photo for free. I took this photo of a beautiful cow on a walk in the surroundings of the village of Vyskeř in the Bohemian Paradise in the Czech Republic. Aperture: ƒ/3, Camera: NIKON D7100, Exposure bias: -1EV, Focal length: 90mm, ISO: 1250, Shutter speed: 1/80s.
