Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
A club member recently sent me a link to Australian Geographic’s website where you can see the shortlisted images for the various categories in their Nature Photographer of the Year competition. There are many fantastic images which I’m sure you will enjoy. What I found really interesting was that some of the categories were identical to some of our set subject topics this year i.e. Macro and Urban Wildlife. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/photography/2023/06/shortlist-2023-australian-geographic-nature-photographer-of-the-year/
