Best known for being one of the hottest places in Australia the tiny outback town of Marble Bar is also surrounded by stark landscapes.
Merv French, Flemming Bo Jenson and I are jointly showcasing this magnificent part of the Pilbara on our blogs.
Here are a few of my favorites which can be found in my Pilbara book.
Does anyone else has a favourite image of Marble Bar? Pop it up on your blog for all to see! We look forward to seeing them.
Does anyone in blog land have a favourite image of the Marble Bar area? If you do then see if you can pop it up on your blog. Merv and I had the grand idea of making Wednesday Marble Bar Day so search through your archives folks and lets see what you can find!
Just so everyone doesn’t start thinking that I only head up north here’s an image from WA’s south. I took this pic on a trip to the Esperance earlier this year. The colourful rocks of this windswept part of the world make great compositions me thinks….
Here’s a nature pic taken from my recent trip to Borneo. Photographing wildlife in the dense tropical rainforest is tricky at the best of times. The broadbill hopped so quickly through the foliage that I only had a few seconds to bump up the ISO and snap a couple of quick shots. Sadly this colourful little critter is an endangered species and is getting harder and harder to find in the wild.
There’s not much to photograph at King Sound near Derby. That is until you take to the skies where you can fully appreciate the extraordinary patterns etched into the vast tidal floodplain. And it’s in the book on pages 38 & 39. Cheers.
This is one of my favorite images - It’s in my Kimberley book on page 176. It was taken from a helicopter after days torrential rain in the Kimberley a few years ago.
Monger’s Lake was as far north as we got on our trip towards Paynes Find. I really like the simplicity of the lake and of course the fantastic cloud and distant hills to compliment the otherwise featureless landscape.
A couple of days ago Christian Fletcher, Mark Stothard, Greg Munyard and I headed out on the road trip of a lifetime! Nothing was planned as we headed north towards Paynes Find. Over 1000 kilometres was covered in just 36 hours as we photographed everything from windmills to salt lakes. Nothing was barred. CF even spend half an hour photogaphing a dilapidated bowling club – although his judgement may have impaired by lack of sleep as he came very much unprepared for a cold night in the bush!
Much fun was had by one and all! A big thanks must go to CF for providing the logistics, Mark for his wicked southern American jokes and Greg for his legal support! Cheers fellas.
