Another shot that took a long time to come about. The Whitsundays are a collection of islands off the east coast near Airlie Beach in Queensland (south of Townsville, north of Mackay) which is a long drive from Melbourne, where I was living. Every time I went there I was unlucky with the weather. I wanted blue skies and a low tide but kept getting grey cloud or rain, so, rather than hang around hoping for a change, I’d keep driving, heading wherever the weather looked better. I kept dropping back in on various trips during the next year or so but it was always bad light, no matter the forecast and, at around $400 an hour for the plane, you don’t want to waste a flight. Finally, on my umpteenth visit and third flight, I had enough sun at the right time to get this shot. It’s a beautiful part of the country and I wouldn’t mind spending more time there.
