news.com.au Photo of the Week

We’re running a competition to see your best photos and snapshots of your life, Australia and the world around you.

And if your shot happens to be our best for the week, you’ll go into the running to win one of three Sony Alpha 7C single lens camera kits, valued at $3899 each.

It may be Sony’s smallest and lightest camera and lens systems, but the company says its powers are mighty.

Advanced AF performance and functions, rapid-fire continuous shooting and a handy vari-angle LCD monitor help capture the action whenever it happens – the perfect tool to enhance any budding photographer’s creativity.

Anything you capture can be transferred directly to your smartphone or tablet – meaning you can share with friends and family in just moments.

For your chance to win – and to feature your own photos on news.com.au each week – you can upload them here or tag them with #newscomauphotos on Instagram.

We’ve chosen the best November photo and are now on the hunt for the December winner, which will be awarded at the end of the month.

This week’s short-listed winner is:

“Wide Bay Training Area, Queensland. It’s always hard to find the right angles when shooting armoured vehicles, but thankfully digital cameras don’t run out of space easily.”

Alex Heather, WA

Taken at Karijini National Park, WA on an overcast day, photographer Alex “thought a bird’s eye view shot would be best to display the contrast of the crystal blue freshwater with the beautiful ancient gorge. Took a couple of minutes to compose the shot but got lucky really.”
