Dam from the air

11 July 2010 · 6 comments · tagged with ,

I don’t know how close this lake/dam was to Perth, but I’m sure it was somewhere in Western Australia, and reasonably far west because the plane hadn’t gone above the clouds yet. I thought these land and water formations were pretty cool; it wasn’t until I looked closer at the photo that I noticed it seems to be dammed up on the right.

  • Aperture: f/22
  • Camera: NIKON D300S
  • Focal length: 50 mm

It’s moments like this that you wish your camera had GPS built in, huh? :)

Ben — Heh, for sure! We were using apps on our phones to track our GPS and match it to photos on Rottnest Island and around Perth a bit, but not on the plane (do camera GPS units work well on planes? not much line of sight to the satellites).

Graham — Cheers! Great find on the dam! I’ve marked it in Aperture now. Yay!

It looks like the UK, a bit skinnier but still….
