Uluru sunrise
From the Big Trip 3D slide archives - 2004.
After leaving the scene of my previous shot, we arrived here in the official carpark for the sunrise at Uluru, ready to witness this amazing scene with hundreds of other early risers. It started out as quite a special event, with many people turning it into a nice outdoor breakfast. We were surrounded by some lovely Japanese tourists who had come off a tour coach, and they were enjoying a sushi breakfast. There was lots of happy chatter and talk, then suddenly the sun cast its first rays on the rock surface, and the entire crowd went utterly silent. For a minute, we were all in awe of what we were looking at, then some remembered their cameras and suddenly it was nothing but a clicking of shutters and a whirring of film motor drives. Being in the film days, I fired off a lot of shots to cover a lot of exposure settings. I think this would still have been around one or two seconds exposure time.
The colours were amazing. This slide scan is straight off the slide itself with no changes to saturation or brightness. It was a mesmerising and unforgettable sight.
