NATURALLY


BEAUTIFUL


Welcome to the 2015 Australian Geographic ANZANG


Nature Photographer of the Year shortlist. Now in its 12th


year, this annual celebration of nature and photography goes


from strength to strength, with a record number of entries.


KAKADU LIGHT
BROLGA, Grus rubicunda
Ben Neale, Queensland
The abstract nature of the clay lake and
contrasting interplay between the individual
birds is compelling. Shooting from the air with my
landscape lens I had to get low to capture the
brolgas in detail. With many sharp turns and some
near misses, the composition came together in one
frame out of 200.
Kakadu, Northern Territory
Canon EOS 5D Mk II, 24–105mm, 1/640,
f/11, ISO 800, handheld from a paraglider
