G'day all
We're in Port Hedland at the moment, still meandering our way around WA
The other night we tagged along on the boat that collects & delivers seamen to & fro the bulk carrier ships that are in port for a day or two while loading iron ore & other stuff
These giant ships take 1/2 a million tonnes of iron ore each day of the year from Port Hedland to overseas destinations - a hellava task in anybody's book
All images then are taken from a moving boat, after dark and not under ideal photo conditions
1- one of many in the harbour, loading goes on 24-hrs a day
exif- Panny G2, 14-140 lens @ 24mm; 1/15s x f4,1; iso-3200
2- one of many seamen to come & go
exif- Panny G2, 14-140 lens @ 14mm; 1/20s x f3,5; iso-3200
3- these ships holds are 20 metres deep !! so when empty, they tower overhead
exif- Panny G2, 14-140 lens @ 14mm; 1/13s x f3,5; iso-3200
4- one of many loading facilities, just no ship there at the moment
exif- Panny G2, 14-140 lens @ 14mm; 1/0s x f3,5; iso-3200
5- damn big things they are too
exif- Panny G2, 14-140 lens @ 45mm; 1/25s x f4,9; iso-3200
As always, feedback or questions welcome
