I won NZ Photographer's Documentary Essay competition with a story on Mount Kilimanjaro, standing tall at 5895 AMSL. The full essay can be seen in issue 16 - cover and pages 12-17. More images are shown in >>Meet Kilimanjaro<<. All images were taken on a climb of the mountain guided by Harold Lazaro from Team Kilimanjaro.

The NZ Photographer looked into the topic of in-camera motion blur and an image of an alpine flower on the Hump Ridge Track made the cut.

Camilla Lundbak is the winner of the Canon 100% Pure Photography Competition run in Australia and New Zealand in association with Tourism New Zealand! The Prize is a trip with Canon and Tourism New Zealand to the southern parts of New Zealand.

• Brief: it had to be 100% pure (!), no post-production allowed.
• Look: The Canon judges looked for a creative approach to the brief.
