I'm please to announce I've won another Bronze Award at this years Epson International Photography awards for my panorama of Lake Pedder, in Southwest National Park, Tasmania. The judges didn't hand out any Golds, and only a few Silvers so a Bronze is a great achievement. Do you think they want us to try harder?

I'm pleased to announce that I have won a bronze award for my Picnic Rocks, Tasmania panorama at this years Epson International Photography awards. I have entered two other pano's but they have yet to be judged, lets hope they do as well.

I now have a selection of free desktop wallpapers available for download. If you would like one please click the image below. I've tried to accomodate for the majority of screen resolutions so I hope you find something suitable. Enjoy!

The majestical Picnic Rocks, Eddystone National Park, Tasmania. This panorama was shot almost a year ago on a trip to Tasmania in the Autumn. I stayed the night not far from here in a campervan and spent most of the night chatting to a couple of hardy fishermen sat around a logfire. I love this place, I can see why the region, the Bay of Fires and its beaches are voted the best in Australia.

The results are in for Better Photography Magazine's Photographer of the Year 2009. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I've won it this time but it's not all bad news. The photos I did enter have all been given either silver or bronze awards (see definitions below). The entries are judged by Peter Eastway, Philip Andrews, Nick Rains, Tony Hewitt and Christian Fletcher. These guys are at the top of their game so to be recognised in this manner is a great achievement.

Gold Award - Exhibiting excellence in all areas, with exceptional vision, creativity and innovation
Silver Award - High standard of photographic practice, craft or skill, superior in imagination.
Bronze Award - Very good photographic practice, on the road to achieving a high standard or excellence
