Pasha Bulker

The Pasha Bulker ran aground at Nobby’s Beach, Newcastle, NSW, Australia on the 8th June, 2007. It has had lots of media coverage. It weighs 40,000 tonnes and may be stuck there forever. Salvage crews are working to try and remove it in the next king tide. I took this photo a few days after it ran aground. It was a horrible, windy day, but as I arrived the sun seemed to peek through the storm clouds and shon upon the ship like a spotlight. I have not digitally altered this shot in any way. It is what it is. Enjoy!!

Pasha Bulker belongs to the following groups:

Louise Cooke, 11 months ago

awesome lighting!! Love the threatening sky against the brilliant red ship and green of the ocean – really striking. And of course that reflection on the wet sand – excellent shot!
Naomi Frost, 11 months ago

Thanks for all of your comments louise. I appreciate it.
Keegan Wong, 11 months ago

Wow you were on the beach?! I thought that was closed for public viewing, you got an exclusive shot here, well done!
Naomi Frost, 11 months ago

No Keegan, wasn’t on the beach. I just bent down and leant under the railing to get this perspective. Got a few stares but I think it was worrth it. I stick this image on cards and sell it at the markets – its one of my biggest sellers.
Malin Nordlund, 10 months ago

this image has all the right elements to be a winner, excellent Naomi.
Naomi Frost, 10 months ago

Thanks richiedean. I entered it in the landscape/nature comp but didn’t get anything…but I’ll keep trying.

Although I can’t add anything original to the comments here I just had to post me agreement. Great light and colour. Wonderful composition.
Naomi Frost, 10 months ago

Thanks Dave, I appreciate it.
Bryan Hansel, 10 months ago

Very nice. The angle adds a touch of actions. The moving waves really contrast with the stuck ship. Nice work.
Naomi Frost, 10 months ago

Thank you very much, Bryan.
AdamDonnelly, 10 months ago

Awesome lighting & composition! Don’t you love days like these when you have your camera? The red contrast against that dark sky is fantastic. I didn’t see an image that came close to the quality of this anywhere in the media. Great capture of an historic moment in time. Well done!
Naomi Frost, 10 months ago

WOW, thanks, Adam. I sell this at the markets on a card (picture stuck to cardboard) – its my biggest seller.
Nathan T, 10 months ago

Great shot. Looks like you managed to get closer to it than I did.
Naomi Frost, 10 months ago

I couldn’t get on the beach though. It was closed everytime I went in. That’s why your shot is so good and unusual as most peope couldn’t get on the beach.
MtnMan, 9 months ago

I like this. The light is so good.
Naomi Frost, 9 months ago

Thanks, MtnMan.
Trace Lowe, 9 months ago

Way Cool! Neat shot!
Naomi Frost, 9 months ago

Thanks, Trace.
Simon Gladwin, 9 months ago

Nice shot. The building on the clffs really gives it a sense of scale. I bet this really cheesed Nobby off…...........it would if it was my beach!
Naomi Frost, 9 months ago

Yes, Simon, Nobby was rather cheesed off…so to speak!!! Lol!!
Antoine Dagobert, 9 months ago

Naomi Frost, 8 months ago

Thanks, Deon.
MarathonMan, 8 months ago

Normally I’d imagine something so large and man made would spoil a coastline picture, but the vibrant colour makes the image complete. Although in saying that, one wouldn’t like to imagine it would actually be there forever…!! Great shot.
Naomi Frost, 8 months ago

Thanks, MarathonMan,
It was good while it was there… but it was great to see it go!

Nice shot
Simon Mears, 7 months ago

wow, how did that happen? it looks like a tidy new ship to me. Whatever, you nailed this, a beautiful shot, especially the green sea and the reflection of the tanker in the pools of water on the sand. Awesome (in England we’d have stripped this down to the bare bones in a matter of days.. Wreckers Rights!)
Gerard Rotse, 7 months ago

Great shot and lucky to be there to take this shot….
Warren Williams, 7 months ago

They could not read the small “No Parking” Sign”

Mark Curry, 2 months ago

I love this shot – a great harmony of colours and a slightly surreal image. Fantastic light too. Having worked on ships for a couple of years in my life it is particularly poignant too.
