I had no idea that Aliens had crash landed in Australia, let alone Coober Pedy. Who knew. Well I found out when I started looking at photos of the town once we arrived. Once I found out there was a space ship I had to find it and take photos of it.
It is actually the ship from the movie Pitch Black which was shot in and around Coober Pedy.
I also thought it might be fun to turn it into a black and white photo. I haven’t done one for a long time and I think that needs to change. I should do more, what do you think?
Have a happy Sunday everyone.
I really liked Pitch Black. Something of a hidden gem. Vin Diesel did what Vin Diesel does best. The very strong highlights in your photo match the film, where it was blazing sunlight all the time. Well, until an unfortunately timed eclipse . . .
I have to admit I have never seen the movie, I might have to now. I think it helped that the sun was really shining hard on it. Thank you
Wow!!! Nice shot
Thank you Juana.
Excellent ๐
Thank you Dard.
Wonderful shot. Have a great Sunday.
Thank you.
Thank you!โค๏ธ๐ฅ
You’re welcome.
Nice
Thank you.
Very cool!! What a beautiful piece of film history ๐
I thought so too LaShelle, it was fun finding it. Thank you.
That is cool
It really was, thank you.
Nice
Thank you.
Great
Thank you,
“aliens in AU”. Nice shot
Who knew, lol. Thank you.
Amazing
Thank you.
Love your photo.
Thank you Tim.
You are welcome. That would be fun to see.
It was a surprise, that’s for sure.
I am glad to see you doing some monochrome work again. You are so talented. Hope all is well.
Thank you Tim, it is nice to get back to it, I’ve been thinking about it for a while and might start doing one each week. I am also thinking of doing some videos on how I process them, do you think people would be interested in that?
I think that the folks who are really into photography would. I know I would be. I have done a few photo tip posts, and they have done ok. I am just glad to see you getting back toward your passion.
That’s what I’m hoping. You are the first to know about it, hoping to get some videos done in the next week or two. I think the trip to NT was really for that, it has also been nice getting back into processing my photos.
I am anxious to see. Have fun!
Hopefully you won’t have to wait too long.
Perfect for a b&w shot. ๐
Thank you, I thought so too.
Just excellent as it is in B&W ๐
Thank you Bushboy, it seemed like a good subject for it.
Great photos
Thank you Ruth.
I think whatever you do will be amazing!
Thank you Marilyn, that is so nice of you to say, though I can do some doozies sometimes.
It probably would not look as good as it does in color, Leanne. Star Wars came to mind!
It looks old and rusty in colour John, I think the B&W makes it look more like it hasn’t been sitting around for years. Thank you John.
Riddick at its best ๐
Loving b&w, this would be great โฆ for sure ๐
That’s for sure.
Thank you Reinhold, it seemed like a good subject for it.
Wow, Luke Skywalker was in AU ๐ฎ๐
I know, who knew?

Fun fact: when I visited Coober Pedy many many years ago, I found a $50 note on the ground. As an 11-year-old, it was the greatest find of my childhood! ๐
That is a fun fact Brianna, what a find, I can imagine how it felt. I didn’t find anything like that, just a space ship. Thank you for sharing Brianna.
Love the shot! Nice job. Have a magnificent Sunday!!!
Thank you and you have a great Sunday too.
Great Shot. Such a coincidence, I am re-watching all the Star Wars movies and came across your post. It reminded me one of itโs kind. Loved your shot ๐๐ป
It is like those in Star Wars. how funny. Thank you.
