Publisher's Synopsis
ANZANG Nature is an organisation focused on the unique natural heritage of the bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea - continents and islands flung from the great southern continent of Gondwana Land over fifty million years ago in which, due to long periods of isolation, remarkable flora and fauna have evolved. ANZANG Nature highlights this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region's nature and wilderness, raising public awareness of its natural heritage, and providing support for nature conservation in the region. To achieve these aims ANZANG Nature conducts an annual photographic competition to bring to light the very best photographs of animals, plants and landscapes taken in the region. The competition is open to all photographers, amateur or professional, of any age or nationality. All winning and highly commended entries form a major travelling exhibition displayed at public museums and galleries, national and international and published in art photography book form. Sponsors including institutions, corporations, organisations and individuals, all of whom support ANZANG Nature's aims and are recognised at the travelling exhibition and in the book, Nature and Landscape. Featuring the exquisite winning and highly commended photographs from the exhibition, as well as indepth information regarding photographic technique, ""Nature and Landscape"" is a unique publication of interest to nature photographers and students of wildlife alike.|Presents more than 100 of the finest photographs submitted to the 2007 Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.
