It amazes me how the brain puts all that visual perception together and makes a picture. I wonder how it looks. Does the spider choose which eyes to see with then switches to another set? Or, do they all see and and the brain maps it altogether for a panoramic view that we can only due with a camera or smart phone. Food for thought.

If Steve were able to speak from beyond the grave, I'm certain he would hold no resentment what so ever towards the animals that caused his tragic end. He died doing what he loved, an unfortunate victim of circumstance. His son does an amazing job keeping his legacy alive, and in that sense, Steve Irwin never died.

These are incredible, of course he has many more opportunities and access to funds and fancy equipment than other kids his age and that has helped, but I was impressed to see some real genuine talent here as well. Well done!
Normarei Villamater 8 years ago
Gears are fact added to the beauty of the shot. BUT how he composed the images are above how a normal photographer or people can take. He has the eyes for beauty, skills to put it on photograph and that is really amazing! keep it up kid!

Yes, he has a nice camera and the ability to travel, but you can't buy the kind of patience it takes to get these kinds of shots. He really does have talent.
Dawn Price 8 years ago
While some of his shots are good, who can afford that camera? I am a photographer, and I would love to have that camera! Plus, look at where he lives, and the chance he has to see those kinds of animals, I can't travel the world, or even Australia for that matter, or I am sure my photos would win awards too. They are good,but, sure he has had alot of help. My 8 year old granddaughter can take some really good photos, would love for her to have a camera like that.

Stunning photos, Robert Irwing deserves that award, normally I never take the time to click through all the pages of a post on Bored Panda, especially because some posts have 80 or more pages because everyone can add a photo here, but here it´s been worth clicking through all 10 pages, each of the pics´s fascinating!!!

Don't tell me now that expensive equipment and having a lot of money is not important to do great photos.
Susan Harrison 8 years ago
Yes, I think I can say that. If you read up on famous photographers you will find that there are some who started out with almost nothing but learned the skills and coupled them with talent. Expensive equipment means nothing if the talent isn't there.

I'm a professional photographer and even I don't have $30,000 of equipment. Those big lenses cost a FORTUNE. Good equipment, unlimited opportunities and access certainly helps. A lot of these are lovely, but most are simply point and shoot... except the heron and the shark. He saw the moment and grabbed it. Good work.

It's so nice to see a follow up on what Steve' s children are up too. My daughter and I watched Steve Erwin's show and were amazed at how he had a love for all animals. So glad to see both children are now growing up to follow in their father's footsteps and sharing with the world. What patients and time it takes to capture these wonderful shots that most of us would never get to see. Thank you to Steve, Terri and your children for sharing with the public for all these years.

These are absolutely amazing photos!! Personally, our choices of subject would vary greatly. As Joanne Hudson commented, labels, even very brief, would be most helpful. He definitely has a great future ahead of him in whatever type of career he chooses. He certainly has access to some very fine, expensive equipment which allows him to capture images that others could not. He does have a great eyes for composing photos!! It is very, VERY difficult for me to choose ONE photo. So, I will give you a list of four photos by their number and list them in order of my favorite of these four to my least favorite; in truth, I love every one of these images!!! They are in order: 1. #5; 2. #15; 3. #27; and 4. #39.

Respect. It's true, he has a better start than most kids his age. But this is a much more responsible and healthy use of those funds and legacy. Let's not forget, he lives under his father's shadow. His choices will determine if he can pave his own path or cower under said shadow. If this is the kind of publicity he's making for himself, good on him.

Robert has talent and each photo is displayed in just the right color tone. I enjoy # 7 the best because it reminds me of the humming birds mother fed and the flowers she had while living in Mexico for twenty five years. Labeling where the subject was and what it is would be even better.

Not true. Someone that has access to a £3000 lens can do more than someone that doesn't. Also, he get to go all over the world taking photos, yeah, juat like every other kid does! Having access to a good camera that takes 10fps and high apeture lenses helps loads with both quality, ability of shots in low light, depth of field, etc. Someone that has beenall over the world can develop skills that 90% of photographers can't. How many kids can travel the world taking photos at his age? Ok, the person behind the camera composes the shot, but do yuo think he just took 1 shot of each animal? More like about 50 shoyts and then picked out the best ones! He's edited the s**t out of hem too... Also, I suppose his name and father had nothing to do with him getting awards either? Obvioulsy he didn't get this attension on his skill alone.......
