2014 Australian Geographic ANZANG Nature Photographer of the Year Exhibition opens at SA Museum Kirri Cetinich's picture of Gentoo penguins in Antarctica. STUNNING images of the natural world in the Australasia bioregion - many taken by South Australian photographers - will be on show at the SA museum next month in the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Exhibition. The finalist photographs depict fauna, flora and land formations in Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the New Guinea region. The exhibition has been curated and exhibited at South Australian Museum since 2009 and this year there are 12 finalist photos by ten photographers from SA. Joel Durbridge of Glenelg North is a finalist in the landscape section with his unearthly image Fairytale Lookout which he took after climbing Frenchman Peak, in Cape Le Grand National Park on the south coast of WA. I waited for the sun to come up. Once the clouds cleared, I was struck by how much the scene looked like a fairytale backdrop," he said. Edwardstown photographer Kirri Cetinich went all the way to Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island in Antarctica to capture her Gentoo penguins in her Houseboat, entered in the Our Impact category. These old boats left in Antarctica are a reminder of its terrible whaling past. The boats were abandoned with no thought of their impact on the environment," she commented. Way across the Southern Ocean and closer to home at Victor Harbor, James Cornwell, aged 11 from North Haven, took his picture of Australian magpies on The Bluff, titled Look at me, look at me. Magpies have lots of character. There is always one clowning around and showing off, but here I think his mates are trying to ignore him," James said of his subjects. The exhibition of all 101 finalist photographs by a total of 66 entrants from around the world, opens on October 10 and runs until November 28 at the South Australian Museum. Each winner of the nine categories wins $1000 and the overall winner will receive $10,000. Entry is $7 for adults, $5 concession and children under 16 get in free.
