Amanda Manning, Pretty In Pink or Any Colour (Aerial 2021)

Hutt Lagoon in Port Gregory, Western Australia would have to be on most drone photographers bucket list; it was on mine and it sure didn't disappoint. You could be mistaken for thinking these colours are not real, as from the ground the pink hues are subtle and understated, yet fly above with a drone and you get to see how vivid the pink really is and the biggest surprise of all was the differing colours you can see from pink to yellow and even dark magenta. I chose to fly low and focus on the shapes and colours formed by the man-made ponds to get an abstract view of the lagoon.
