• be shot in the wilderness. This could be on the coast, semi-rural or in the mountains.
Photographs do not have to be taken on a club tramping trip.
Note: Post processing can be applied (e.g. exposure & colour correction, cropping, sharpening, etc.
Panoramic stitching is allowed, plus HDR blending) Removal or insertion of features not in the original image is not allowed.
