Pilbarra Hues
Here’s a favourite of mine from way back… (well, about 17 months to be precise).
Taking photos in the few small moments off here while I was working was one of the few joys I received over a couple of months and was quite happy with my takings from just one night, (same sunset I shot ‘Dancing Dampier Palms’).
Probably my first successful decent shoot of a sunset…so at the same time, this inspired me and has made me keen to improve since.
Taken from the shores of Dampier in the Pilbarra region, Northern WA, Oz.
Thanks for any looks &/or comments…
Cheers,
Matt.

This is amazing and would look magnificent with a black border. I would love to see it with a black frame – any chance of adding it?
