The president of the Woodgate Beach Camera club in Queensland, Leonie takes advantage of the idyllic beach setting and can often be found on the long stretch of beach, looking for the next shot.
To the local wildlife Leonie is a familiar site. Seagulls, sea eagles and brahminy kites all fight and dive for food as Leonie waits patiently off to the side to try and capture that perfect moment.
Recently it was Melbourne that delivered Leonie some inspiration, and her photo of two buskers playing guitars winning her the top honour at the Heritage Acquisitive Photographic Awards in Toowoomba. She said after entering the competition for the last four years, it was a big boost to her confidence.
"Definitely so, and the money is good too," Leonie said laughing.
"Photographic equipment doesn't come cheap, but you don't need a flash camera or lens to get you started and the improvement in point and shoot cameras and phones these days is amazing. They take a great photograph."
