King Sound

ks

 

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.

    • Cheers Adrian. I do heaps of aerial photography and can actually fly a small plane. From up above is often the only way to get the full perspective on things! Yep I can get you a book if your still keen.
      Cheers

  3. Yep, another one of my favourite’s from the Kimberley book. I like the one’s on page 168 and 180 as well, you’d better throw them up one day Dave.

    I pretty well like every image from the front cover to the back cover and i can highly recommend this particular book to everyone , if you didn’t like it you’d be pretty hard to please I’d say.

  5. I have flown in and out of Derby a few times and it is an extrordinary landscape. Even more so as you fly toward Talbot Bay!
    Great image David.

  7. these images are getting better and better- i reckon Tony’s comment sums it up right there. the m ore I look at this the more and more I love it 🙂
    was this out of a copter as well?? i’d imagine it would be to get such spot on composition from the skies??

  8. Perfect shot David,
    The tributaries look like tree roots, or veins. Just fabulous.

    • Hi Matt.
      This one was taken a few years ago so it was shot on film. I’m still holding onto my Linhof 617 for the moment cause you can’t stitch from the air!
