2007 ANZANG AWARDS ANNOUNCED
Congratulations to the Winners and place-getters in the recently contested ANZANG Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards.

A record number of entrants ensured a high quality field of photographs, and the awarded images are testiment to each photographer's dedication and passion for their subjects.

Two of my entries were Highly Commended, and will be included in the 2007 ANZANG book and travelling exhibition. Check out the ANZANG website for exhibition dates. This year's book is being published by CSIRO and will be available at leading bookstores soon.

My first Highly Commended image was in the Threatened Species Category and was shot on Heron Island under the full moon in early March this year. It was captured just after midnight on one of my most memorable nights on the Great Barrier Reef, and features a female green turtle returning to sea after laying her clutch.

The second Highly Commended was entered in the Black and White section, and was shot under blustery conditions at Graville Harbour on Tasmania's wild west coast.
