Final Darwin Shots











The final shots from my little visit to Darwin, the top two shots a taken from our fourth floor room, although a moderate Pseudo HDR this is very close to what it looks like in daylight, (Hot and Steamy) the second shot is just before Dawn as is the fourth shot although it is from ground level and a different morning. The third shot is looking bacj at the Vibe - Madina Grand Hotel fro the breakwater visible in the first two shots.

The fifth and sixth shots show Stokes Hill Wharf, No 5 Shows a pearl Lugger from Days gone by (or my idea of what they looked like (Now converted for tours) the sixth is the Vessel Paspaley 4 which is owned by the Paspalry Family (Very Big in the Pearling industry worldwide). I just loved the way the sun appeared pearl like itself as it came up in the rigging of the Lugger. The helm is a tourist attraction actually located amidst a string of wonderful seafood restaurants actually on the wharf. The last photo was taken from the plane window on the way back to Brisbane, the angle was horrendous and this is the best I can get it, but we were flying at 35,000 feet, so you figure out just how big that open cut mine is, my guesstamate is Ginormous!

Your HDR is brilliant - love those spectacular colors! Each and every one of these show another beautiful side of Darwin, I think you have covered it well! ;)

Hi Ron,
Love that first picture! It could easily be a postcard. The one from the plane is great! Looks like it's a long way down! Have a great day!

I really like #2, the sky is wonderful and the lighting is great.

All of the shots of Darwin are great, but I especially like the ones at night and the ones with reflections. Great tour of the area!
