Coalpit Dam - Naseby has been recognized at a national level, including being named a Landscape Finalist in the Single Shot Photographer of the Year awards. This places the image among a small selection chosen for its strength in composition, technical quality, and connection to the landscape.
Placed in the Top 30 in The Landscape Awards 2026 (22nd place) and also selected as a finalist in the Tuhura Photography Competition. Out of a record breaking 9372 entries.
I was also selected as a Top 25 Finalist in the New Zealand Amateur Photography Awards (NZAPA), where the image received a Silver Medal.
A quiet winter scene at Coalpit Dam in Naseby, where snow-covered posts sit still in the calm water and frosted pine trees line the far shore. Soft pastel tones in the sky add a gentle warmth to the otherwise cool, muted landscape, giving the image a peaceful, almost timeless feel.
Framed print on Lustre Pro with a standard mat border.
Please note: The sizes listed refer to the photograph size only. Each framed print includes a 5cm (50mm) white bevel-cut mat border around the photograph, so the finished frame dimensions will be larger than the selected size.
