Pilbara walkabout

[beren]

Gday here's some pics of the surrounds of Marillana village a workcamp located near BHPs Yandi Iron ore minesite roughly 105km northwest of Newman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Used a Nikon D700 along with a small variety of lens {50mm AF1.4,60mm 2.8AFS,28-70mm 2.8AFS,300mm 4AFS}. Cheers for looking

Great shots, Stuart.

I really like 3 and 5.

Thanks very much for looking/comments

Excellent series of shots, Stuart. I bet the skies were nice and dark!

Hi Stuart,

One of my favourite parts of Australia. Beautiful shots. I particularly like the
vistas in the first and last shots. Thanks for sharing!

[Octane (Humayun)]

Stuart,

Magnificent series.

For me, however, the first shot takes the cake.

It resonates with a lot of the work that I do.

The image imparts and provides a grand sense of scale.

I would love to shoot sunrise and sunset out that way.

Once again, wonderful portfolio.

Regards,
Humayun

That's a particularly picturesque area in the Pilbura .... beats the billard table on the coast .... Tom Price and Parraburru are also very picturesque (out of town).

Not been to Newman , but Port and South Hedland are .... well boring scenary wise , in that here is no scenary , and all the big trees get blown down every few years when big tropical cyclones hit the coast.

You on FIFO or living at Newman ?
