I have some amazing news! :)

I have some amazing news!!

I was one of 5 winners in the Tourism Western Australia '1001 Extraordinary Experiences' competition! I entered my image of 'Arching Milkyway over the Bungle Bungles' and described my experience:

Quote:
Photographing the Bungle Bungles at night, lit by the crescent Moon with the Milky Way arching overhead. It was an amazing experience, even better that I could share it with others on the tour group. Pristine dark skies and amazing unique landscapes – it was a once in a lifetime opportunity."
More on my blog here: http://bit.ly/11dC7BV

It’s just been an incredible 12 months. Winning the Ken Duncan Photo Awards competition which saw me take an unbelievable 2 week journey around the Kimberley with Ken Duncan, to then use a photo taken on that trip to win another competition back to WA – mind blowing!
