    About this ebook

    The bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea possesses a unique natural heritage stretching back over 50 million years since the break-up of the great southern continent of Gondwanaland. The South Australian Museum focuses on enhancing a general knowledge of this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region’s nature and wilderness, and promoting an annual competition to find the Nature Photographer of the Year.

    Australasian Nature Photography: ANZANG Eighth Collection presents the finest photographs submitted to the competition. Each photograph is accompanied by technical information as well as anecdotes about how the picture was taken, which will stimulate yet further interest in the flora and fauna and their conservation in the region.

    Australasian Nature Photography 08 - South Australian Museum

    INTRODUCTION

    Now in its eighth year, the annual ANZANG Nature Photography competition continues to mature, this year accepting more than 1600 images, each with a unique perspective on the natural world.

    With the lens focussed on our local area, ANZANG invites photographers of any age, nationality or experience to submit their photographs taken in Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the New Guinea region. It serves to highlight and celebrate the region’s unique biodiversity.

    Our competition judges have the daunting duty of selecting the best photographs for inclusion in the ANZANG Nature Photography exhibition and this book, Australasian Nature Photography: ANZANG Eighth Collection.

    I offer my congratulations to all photographers involved. Only a small proportion of the images can be exhibited; not being included is not a reflection on the photographer’s ability, but rather an indication of the wealth of talented photographers working in the ANZANG region. So much talent makes this a difficult competition to judge and I thank our judges for their efforts.

    I hope that all photographers and people who love nature will enjoy this collection of Australasian Nature Photography.

    OVERALL WINNER

    The overall winner of the competition is the photographer of the image judged best of all the images entered. Ofer Levy of New South Wales is this year’s winner.

    Judges, when making their selection, considered the photographic technique and the aesthetic, artistic and unique qualities of all images.

    ANZANG 2011 – OVERALL WINNER

    Grey-headed Flying Fox drinking behaviour

    Ofer Levy, New South Wales

    Grey-headed Flying Foxes drink in a unique way. They swoop low, skimming the water with their belly. They then lick the wet fur as they fly and continue licking when perched nearby.

    This behaviour usually occurs at dusk and night, but when the temperature reaches 35 degrees and above they will drink during the day. In order to get this image I stood in chest-deep water with the camera and lens mounted on a tripod.

    ‘A stunning action shot – technically perfect, with great light and fantastic depth of field.’
