Another construction site shoot but this time on Garden island, always a nice drive over the causeway to HMAS Stirling. Thanks to the guys for allowing me to shoot a few fun shots….

Cottesloe Beach set the world record with 2088 people on bright yellow thongs and beat last years winner by 712. The weather was hot but produced smooth conditions and looked spectacular from the air. The colours were amazing, the water was so clear.

Some great shots there Peta. I particularly like the aerial image with the beach umbrellas and white sand. Would look great printed large

Yep it sure has been hot, I think the temp got to 40 degrees on australia day and it was really hot in the plane.
Will catch up with you when you get back….

LOVE THIS!! Makes me homesick. I hear you’ve been having a heatwave….has been around -3 here in Europe. Maybe in 2013 I can join you?
Great aerials as always. Wish I could be there for your ‘photo walk’ but will be there in spirit. Hope you have a great time.

Thanks Merv, was up circling for around an hour and a half waiting for them to get all lined. Did get a few of them all finally linked just before they all broke up. It was a bit of fun, and the conditions were perfect.

Great shots Peta you must have circled for a while. I don’t think theres a shot of them all in the water at once by the look of it . Probably organized chaos on the beach.
On an aerial job last week in the wheat belt I flew over some interesting farmland due to the recent harvests. Would love to have had more time in the area but was on a job so will have to return in the near future especially after a harvest…

Yes you’ll have to come out when we are seeding , thats done with GPS as well. I’ll let you know when its happening, be some time in June.

I knew that you would know the answer…GPS…thats why the lines are so straight….I will have to come out next year and see them in action, I think it would be very interesting…

Could be any reason Peta, maybe someone just got bored so turned around to go the other way
. If there are 2 headers working together then when they have to unload a full bin they have to swap rows so one machine will do a loop Those tracks in number 4 are chaser bin tracks. The chaser bin and tractor go out into the paddock and unload the harvester on the move then go back to where the truck is so their tracks go everywhere but you can see they link up to a main track heading into the bottom RH corner, thats the track back to the trucks. The straight line tracks are auto steering with GPS. if they don’t have machines with auto steering then they generally go around and around the paddock in ever decreasing circles. Now , that should really confuse you. !!

Thanks Merv, ok guess your invited then……
You can answer a question om harvesting….why is it that they go up and down the fields in straight lines then do a couple of turns in the middle and then they go straight again…

Love these Peta, they are great. Next time you go out to get these I’m coming too.

Stuart - Nice work, Peta. I bet your subjects loved posing for the “Boofy Blokes on Dunnies” set piece…
