Coral Princess Cruises<\/a> has teamed up with world-renowned nature photographer, Steve Parish<\/a> to help passengers ‘capture’ the magnificence of the Kimberley, on a 10-night cruise between Broome and Darwin.<\/p>\n

The brilliant light of the Kimberley both inspires and challenges photographers: the intense palette of the landscape is undeniably dramatic \u2013 but to capture the extreme contrasts photographically and render them accurately requires a little insider knowledge. Ten days under Steve Parish’s tutelage is a precious insight into the tricks of the trade.<\/p>\n

Over aeons, the Kimberley coast of Western Australia has been scored and scoured by wind and water and painted with a super-saturated palette to form one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth. Steve Parish \u2013 who rarely conducts photography classes \u2013 will draw on his 40 years of photographic field work in diverse Australian landscapes to inspire guests aboard the\u00a0Oceanic Discoverer\u00a0to capture their own vision of the Kimberley.<\/p>\n

Over 10 days, cruising between Broome and Darwin, Parish will conduct a series of workshops, informal discussions and field excursions, covering topics such as the philosophy of nature photography and connecting with the landscape; style and technique; different subjects and \u2013 most relevant to the Kimberley’s extremes \u2013 working with light.<\/p>\n

The 10-night\u00a0Kimberley\u00a0cruise visits Kuri Bay, home of the South Pacific pearl industry, and ventures ashore to view the world-famous Bradshaw (Gwion) paintings, – the world’s oldest known indigenous art \u2013 and the towering, 80-metre King George Falls, the tallest waterfalls in Western Australia. There is an optional helicopter flight over the Mitchell Plateau for views of the impressive four-tiered Mitchell Falls, as well as excursions into secluded gorges and to rock pools perfect for swimming. The cruise explores the Buccaneer Archipelago \u2013 made up of 800 islands \u2013 and includes an exhilarating Zodiac ride through the ‘Horizontal Waterfall’, where the tide floods between rocky cliffs.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Oceanic Discoverer\u00a0will carry a maximum of 68 passengers in luxury, with a complement of highly-experienced staff, including naturalist guides and guest lecturers<\/p>\n

For Parish, whose work is recognised around the world and who has published numerous books, photography is “about promoting an understanding of the importance of nature. The first step has to be to light a fire in someone \u2014 inspire them to learn more, inspire them to genuinely become one with nature, urge them to connect with it and to celebrate its beauty and diversity.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a010-night Coral Princess Kimberley Cruise with Steve Parish<\/a>\u00a0departs Broome on September 20, 2010, costing from $8750 per person, twin share, cruise only, in a Main Deck (Category B) stateroom.<\/p>\n
