In the day light the only way to get the shot from ground level lay on the ground head on the camera bag to get it all in as one with the 16mm lens.

The only spot there is water on the otherwise dry Gascoyne river. A 5km drive on a very rough road but a great view to the otherwise dry river.

The fishing spot a very long point of land in the middle of Massey Bay. 9% Moon while a night to capture The Milky way bow It was also a teaching night. I was asked can you teach me how to use my camera. With a request like that how could I not, Yes they came along for the view and learning. First time for both of them but one camera I could not get speed down past 1/2 sec to 20 sec so only could watch on. PIP shows the students camera as we move out of the strong wind Behind some bushes. Nikon D90, my lens, my tripod, 30 seconds set up and L bracket to get the same view. Yes it is that easy..... Not for every one But for me For me to remember just why I own and enjoy a camera.

A true 4WD road to get up to the top but what a View... Taken out the front windscreen of the Hire car...

Not a place to be down wind Sorry you miss the sequence from start to finish.

Looking south to Perth. See if you can find the Mountains?

The Bright Red earth that Populates the area in contrast to the blue water.

Interesting to note these are the same dolphins as the 2006 shot in the PIP as they have been coming for the last 20 years. One of our group hand feed one. The origin of Monkey Mia's name is not really known. Some derive it from the schooner Monkey which supposedly anchored in Shark Bay in 1834 and the Aboriginal word mia for “house” or “home”, hence “Home of the Monkey”. ... Shark Bay is actually no place on its own, but a region on the west coast of Australia.Jan 25, 2015
