Winter Night
Dexter Canning
This photograph was taken at night during midwinter in the town of Derby in northeastern Tasmania. Mist rising from the lake and river is illuminated by the town lights, leading to unique colours. Cooling air causes water vapour to condense over the water-bodies. Hills and the Milky Way can be seen in the background, becoming obscured by the gathering mist.

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.
