Record number of entries in 2012 SEPWA photo competition
A record number of entries were received this year and the photos reflect what was a long and difficult harvest for farmers throughout the Esperance Port Zone. The 41 entries showed harvest in action, stacks of grain, sprouted grain, bogged headers, split silo bags, puddles of water and more.
Photographers were encouraged to get creative and picture harvest from a different angle. The competition was judged by well renowned local photographer, Dan Paris who has a passion for landscape photography and also enjoys getting out in the paddock at harvest.
The winning photo was taken by Olivia Walter, of Cascades.
