The precise origin of the name ‘Kaiteriteri’ from Maori culture is unknown, but all interpretations appear to centre around food and movement.  Perhaps it was the abundance of food in the calm waters that drew people here.  Clear blue water and sheltered bays and islands make for somewhat of a playground for New Zealanders these days, and stunning images of New Zealand for a landscape photographer.

My intention with this photograph is to reflect the contrast of forms…the seemingly immovable landscape with the silky fluid stillness of the waters, and the dynamic morphing of the clouds passing through towards the inland ranges.

The cellar door, on Chalk Hill Road, was recently completed to a very high spec and sits spectacularly within some of Angove’s best vines.

Richard Angove, who commisioned the photograph for the space says, ’I think this is the best photograph of McLaren Vale I have ever seen!’

Panoramic prints will be available through the cellar door, which will also showcase a 60 inch print of ‘Willunga Glow’.

The prize is dedicated to photographs created with medium format cameras, using both film and digital captures.  It is part of The International Loupe Awards, one of the world’s richest photographic competitions.

The top 31 images, including ‘Miette’ were chosen as finalists, and will now tour as an exhibition of large format Epson prints to Sofitel Luxury Hotels in Melbourne, Sydney, The Gold Coast, Brisbane and Hong Kong.

Miette is one of a suite of pictures of North America which will be released in the David Evans online landscape photography gallery over coming months.

Over time we will be re-releasing by drip-feed a ‘distilled’ collection of David’s favourite photographs, plus new creations.
