This year's winners

I have recently checked out the 2004 exhibition when it was in Newcastle. It takes time of those things to get to us

If anything like the 2004 exhibition, it is great if you like wildlife/landscapes and just great photogs. I'll visit when I get to a mini-meet.

Cheers,

Missed it! Bugger I was working at the Museum last week.

Last January, on his tenth birthday, Jesse received what he had been wanting since he was seven – an SLR digital camera. In February, his father took him for a couple of days to a hide in Utti, Finland, to photograph birds.

This kid not only get the camera AND "that" lens BUT also a trip to Finland!!!!!

edit: Just read it again.... He lives in Finland.... Still the best thing my Dad ever gave me was a Bike

Finland is where he lives so at least he didn't have to travel far to get his winning photos

There's a song in that.

"Finland, Finland, Finland. The country where I quite want to be."

A bit of a bump on this one,

I visited the exhibition on Saturday morning. It is certainly worth the visit for those that are interested in wildlife photography. There are some truly amazing photographs. Nothing compares to seeing them "in person". Entry fee to the Australian museum is $10, but also lots of other things to see as well.

Looking at the winning entries this year, there is certainly a higher percentage of digital images that are winners. Last year, probably about 30% digital, this year, probably 60-70% digital. Quite a number of D70's as well.

See start of thread for info on exhibition times and competition details.

Cheers,

"..pony trekking or camping, or just watching TV!" I'm pleased to see someone else can't hear the word "Finland" without smiling!

Awesome exhibition. Won't hold my breath to see this up here..

I got the book for Xmas, and there is some amazing photos! Looking forward to visiting it in person!

Giving a bump to this one, it is now taking place closer to home. The exhibition is on at the Newcastle Library - Lovett Gallery till Aug 5th. So if you are in the region, it is well worth it. I saw it in Sydney but I'll go again.
