A remarkable wave
Michael Helman
Erosion is a natural force that can seem invisible and incalculable; a process unmistakably powerful, yet often unnoticeably slow. Landforms formed through erosion, like this sea cave created by the power of the sea on the Tasman Peninsula, are fascinating. Appreciating their physical form often sufficiently rewards and intrigues those who view them, especially those who seek to capture their beauty through the lens of a camera. When viewed through the lens of Geomorphology – the study of landforms and the processes that shape them – a much deeper understanding and appreciation can be found. Truly remarkable!
BEAKER STREET SCIENCE PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE
This photograph was a finalist in Beaker Street’s annual Science Photography Prize. This highly-respected prize invites all Tasmanians to showcase the wonders of our extraordinary part of the world — which is teeming with science and scientists. Finalist images are displayed at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery during Beaker Street Festival each August, with great prizes on offer for Judges’ and People’s Choice winners.
The Beaker Street Science Photography Prize would not be possible without the support of Full Gamut, Tasmania’s premier fine art printers and long-time sponsor of this competition. Many thanks also go to Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, which donates a generous prize for the People’s Choice winner.
