Selwyn Times Wednesday March 31 2021 16 NEWS Competition winner not from farming background ROSHEAN WOODS does not come from a farming background but that didn’t stop her winning the Tasman region Young Farmers Club competition at the Malvern A&P Association’s ground on Saturday. Originally from Timaru, Woods said farming had not been her career goal until a visit from Lincoln University and DairyNZ to her high school. “I’ve always loved science and saw myself working in a lab of some sort,” the Christchurch City Young Farmers Club member said. But farming had the obvious advantage of being able to combine science with her passion for the outdoors, and today she is a farm systems scientist at DairyNZ. “I couldn’t imagine working in any other industry now.” The eight regional finalists competed in eight modules and battled it out head-to-head in two time and point races at the Malvern Show, while also undertaking a written exam and the famous buzzer quiz. Runner-up on Saturday was Jonny Brown of the Dunsandel Young Farmers Club, while third was Peter O’Connor of the Lincoln Young Farmers Club. • By Susan Sandys LEMONWOOD GROVE School pupil Angus Winter has combined his love of nature and photography, and been rewarded for his efforts. The nine-year-old has been named as the winner of the 10 years and under category in the Canterbury Museum’s Amazing Animals! photography competition. Angus photographed a tūī, poised momentarily amongst flower heads on a flax bush. He captured the image on a family trip to Ōkārito on the West Coast. His father Drew Winter said Angus had always admired wildlife, for as long as he could remember, and had begun photographing animals about two years ago. “He’s got pictures of wildlife on his walls in is bedroom, he just loves it,” Winter said. It had taken about 20 minutes to get the winning shot of the tūī at Ōkārito, It was on a board walk with flax on both sides, and Angus had sat underneath the bushes and taken lots of photos. As well as picking up first prize, Angus received a highly commended award for a photo he took of a kererū. This was also taken at Ōkārito, in the garden of a house.

In the 11 to 15 years category, 13 -year-old Zion Cooper won with his image of a tūī, and Eleanor Begley, 13, was the runner-up with a close-up of a fly. Winners received a $100 Prezzy card, and runners-up received a $50 Prezzy card. All entries are displayed in the museum foyer. Canterbury Museum Associate Curator Natural History Johnathon Ridden was one of the competition’s judges. He said the judging panel was staggered by the quality of the entries. “All the entries were just fantastic, which made choosing the winners very difficult. We’d like to thank everyone who entered. Canterbury is clearly home to some very talented young photographers,” Ridden said. The competition, previously held in 2018, was designed to complement Wildlife Photographer of the Year, an exhibition at the museum which ran from November. It featured some of the world’s best wildlife photographs direct from the Natural History Museum, London.
