NOVEMBER 2016

THE BUREAU of Meteorology received over 800 photo entries from all corners of Australia for their 2017 ‘Australian Weather Calendar’, and Meander Valley resident Leanne Osmond of Leeo Photography is among its thirteen finalists.

Her Frozen Spiderweb in St Marys is featured for its month of December.

Taken in mid-winter 2014 in St Marys’ township on Tasmania’s North East Coast, Leanne had used a Canon EOS 7D camera and Canon 100mm macro lens that morning.

As a member of the Mole Creek Photographic and Visual Arts group, this photo entry is on display at its exhibition on 26th and 27th November in the Mole Creek Memorial Hall from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

Hailing from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia before 2015, Leanne passionately captures the Meander Valley, the Great Western Tiers and the North East coast’s stunningly natural unique environment, untamed and farmed flora and fauna.

She loves combining photographs with digital enhancement techniques too, producing images that highlight nature’s beauty.

Yet it was only buying her first digital camera in 2005 that she found the perfect expression for her love of nature.

Her arresting images have been featured in South Australia council calendars, a book about the Adelaide Hills, the Sydney Morning Herald and Gardening Australia, as well as on the front cover of a tourism magazine, numerous business websites and on television’s Postcards in South Australia, when she appeared as its guest.
