Free Like A Bird

Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia is the largest fringing reef in the world and the only reef system on the western side of a continent. The coral emerges from the deep blue up to the oceans surface. Inside the reef are pristine lagoons with coral and abundant marine life, easily accessible of the beach with a few metres swimming. For those familiar with Ningaloo Reef – you can see turquoise bay at the far left of the image.

This photo was taken on an exceptionally calm day out of a microlight aircraft. I’ve done aerial photography here before out of a ‘normal’ plane but this experience left me speechless.

Equipment: CANON 5D, CANON 24-105 f4 L IS, 1/1000s@f5.6

    Wow..arent you fortunate and I am blessed to view it through your eyes. Apart from living vicariously through you this is one place i wish to visit one day..Its sublime! Beautiful shot!!

  • aabzimaging replied

    Thanks so much Sal – as always! Well, Ningaloo is definitely worth a visit. But – you have to like water & ocean, remoteness and isolation and you need time – at least a week if not more! :-)
    I don’t have a TV any more – who needs one when you can have this?

    I get nine weeks off a year….got me thinking..there is not one thing about your description that i dont like..not one….I really wanna get there now!

  • aabzimaging replied

    Nine weeks off?? I wish I had that. But a few days off work here feels like a week anyway. So I won’t complain.
    Let me know if you need more info for your trip planning. ;-)
