Almost convinced it was an April fool's joke, on 1 April 2010 I had the pleasure of taking a phone call from the AIPP ACT President saying I had won Joint Landscape Photographer of the Year for 2010!   The photographer I shared the title with is another Canberra photographer Leonie Keogh.

I received 5 Silver Awards for the images listed below:

- Alpenglow on the Torres del Paine, Torres del Paine National Park, Chilean Patagonia

- Climbers descend Aiguille du Midi Arete, Chamonix, France

- Sunrise on Cuernos del Paine over Lake Pehoe, Torres del Paine National Park, Chilean Patagonia

- Curious sheep in front of the Trotternish Ridge, Isle of Skye, Scotland

- Grandes Jorasses & Dent du Geant, Chamonix, France

2010 is the first year I've entered this competition, as I have previously only entered the Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards.

Best regards,

Chris Morrison
