Camera: Hasselblad 503CW

JOSE LUIS RODRIGUEZ won this year's Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 Award, beating 43,135 entries from 94 countries and in over 17 categories. "In Spain, the population of Iberian wolves is thought to number 1000-2000 in the north, with a few isolated populations in the south. José Luis risked a slow shutter-speed to reveal the moonlit sky and conjure up the atmosphere of the place. He switched from using his Nikon D2X to a Hasselblad for the exact framing he had in mind." The 2010 competition launches in January. (UK Natural History Museum)
