A slightly different image of Uluru or Ayers Rock, Central Australia. Queues of backpackers and tourists flock to the Rock and attempt the climb, some die in the attempt. This was taken near dawn using a Nikon 801 and Velvia film, 300mm Nikkor and subsequently scanned. Quite a lot of sharpness was lost but it's quite contrasty and one almost gets away with it.. I liken the photo to ants climbing a stone..
It's a helluva climb and coming down's worse.. A real butt scraper.

What an amazing shot! & I have really enjoyed reading everyone's comments about it. Now I have to go look it up. :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind remarks guys.. I agree about the demise of the Rock, it's now so commercialised, much the same as the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) just down the road from the Rock. That used to be just a raw wilderness experience, now there's bitumen car parks and steel walkways. makes one sad.
I agree. Why can't we have more natural scenes in their natural settings?
