Gladstone Harbour and Curtis Island

This series of pictures are taken on Gladstone harbour and Curtis Island, often at dawn. The photographer’s love of the beauty of his surroundings, and his ability to ‘see’ and to use his camera, have resulted in a series of great pictures.

Worker drop off point, Curtis Island, Queensland, Australia.
That’s a pretty cool place to have to go to work. Except if it’s raining! Note the twin hull, catamaran, construction. The shallow draft allows the boat to come right up to the beach so the workers can step off without getting their boots wet.

Although many of our contributors use professional camera equipment such as the Nikon Coolpix 1000, at ThisisAustralia we usually use our mobile phone cameras. A Samsung Galaxy Note 10 +, which has been great, and we will continue to use. We have also just purchased a Samsung S21 Ultra. This has been described as an ‘insanely brilliant camera with a phone attached’. So we are expecting some really good quality pics! Some of our contributors have also used the iPhone 13 with good success.
