The watcher

By Jo Cripps.
An image taken at the St Kilda beach on a sunny afternoon. People were relaxed and enjoying the sunshine. I strolled along behind the timber decking area and found this young girl laying watching the people on the foreshore. She was so still and yet they were all over the place. I set up the camera and kept my fingers crossed that she would stay still. The other girl sitting in front also sat for the duration – bonus. I love the contrast between the stillness of the first two girls and the crowd on the foreshore. I took this image with a black and white image in my mind.

Silvereye

By Jason Anderson.
The little but beautiful Slivereye. I love how this image came out and one day I would love to be a pro nature/wildlife photographer. In short, I love animals and nature and I love photographing them.

Catching a wave

By Graeme Edwards.
It was Merimbula NSW on a very cold morning, waiting for the sunrise when a couple of surfers arrived. The wind was blowing but I waded to a rocky outcrop with my tripod. Even with waves around my knees I managed some good shots and kept my camera dry.

Fly with me

By Sasa Ivanovic.
I shot this scene when on holiday in Romania, in the beautiful city of Timisoara.
The main city square is full of pigeons that are not afraid of people at all. I used the flip out screen and moved the camera almost to the ground to capture a bit different view.

Sentinel

By Richard Bruxner.
Each year, after the first big rains, the undergrowth in Darwin’s coastal monsoonal vine forests is covered with the tiniest, most exquisite little fungi. They’re not easy to photograph, as lighting and conditions are often tough, but I really like the calm feel, and sense of scale, of this shot.

NY88

By Blane Coulcher.
This is an old picture taken with my old Pentax KM, plus unknown lens back in 1988″¦ and so obviously film. The quality is so-so having been scanned from an old print. But after all these years this is still a favourite as I wonder what was going through the American’s mind as he stared at the Statue of Liberty that summer morning. So many stories, so many memories, so many hopes. I send this, not for the quality, but for the composition and emotion.
