The SA Museum has announced the winners in its 2011 ANZANG Nature Photography competition It is one of Australia's main photo competitions.
The competition aims to highlight the stunning biodiversity of the Australasian bioregion (Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the New Guinea region) and to encourage the conservation and protection of its flora and fauna species.
My interest is in both the "Our Impact" category, in which the image must depict human impact (negative or positive) on the natural environment, be it terrestrial, marine or atmospheric; and the wilderness category, in which the landscape or seascape must have minimal evidence of human interference. The latter was won by Rob Blakers, the Tasmanian photographer:
Rob Blakers, Navarre Plains, near Lake St Clair, Tasmania
Tasmania is the place to do wilderness photography and to do it properly you have to live there.
Blakers also won the "Our Impact" category with his forestry regeneration burn in the Weld Valley--the image is not in the public domain.
