Hi all,
I'm back in Brisbane too, after a great weekend in Parkes. My first experience of these awards, and it was great to put faces to names and meet lots of the photographers whose work I've admired over the last few years! Well done to all the other winners, and especially to Phil for the overall award! And of course thanks to John Sarkissian and the organising committee, and all the sponsors.

Cheers,
Stephen

Nuts! ...should have used it for a wide field entry

Not sure what to take away from the awards this year.

David went to some lenghts to state it was visual impact...eg strong graphic elements... that you can just as easily capture with say, a DSLR, rather than a mega-CCD, was what he was looking for.

The standard, well, gets better every year. I was particularly impressed with Colin Legg's work.

By the way...anyone know what next year's open theme will be??

John Sarkissian spoke to a group of us at night's end and we asked when next year's theme category would be announced. He said please send him any suggestions. He has no idea at this stage and I'm sure David doesn't either! John thought of this year's theme. He hopes to announce it by about October at the latest.

And the exhibition tour dates are up too! Great to see it coming to the SA Museum for the first time. I commented to John that having them in the basement of the RiAus wasn't the best for numbers of people coming through to see it (only 700 apparently) so the museum should increase that to thousands, especially since the tour dates are in School holidays! Also great to see it going to Perth and Cairns.

to deal with the endless stream of media enquiries (actually, just one so far ), i've put up a post with some more details of the melbourne moonrise image:

http://philhart.com/content/melbourn...d-malin-awards

i heard from john sarkissian that geoffrey wyatt spent two years trying for his moon image last year. if so, that's quite an effort! i certainly don't claim as such for mine.

seeing all the images on a real monitor now rather than the parkes projector certainly brings them out in greater glory. i think the winners in each category are all well deserved..

my personal favourite is probably peter wards high res venus transit.. stunning details and striking composition and of course very different to any other year. i don't plan to take up high-res imaging anytime soon but the transit images were all impressive and i thought a venus transit might be a chance for the overall award this year.. sorry guys .

Colin Legg's video is something else.. look at the quality of this, including sequences combining five cameras into one high res view of the sky!? http://vimeo.com/45856570

alex' widefield lovejoy and [anything] by martin pugh both great winning images, and trent's symmetry image very impressive now.. my view on the night was a little confused by david's crop and pan as he presented them quite quickly. alex' lake tekapo is pretty striking too and not surprisingly the photo editor's choice. so that leaves me with not much to disagree about !

Phil

Yeah a few people had thought that too. I did get a bit hopeful after David called out my name for one image and then let me go back to my seat as he had told Alex to remain seated for his two HM's. It was the editors choice that put my image up into the position behind the winning entry for hi res. Oh well next time.

Not sure of the value of the editors choice though. Are those being published?
