Kata Tjuta
Below, Kata Tjuta radiates the fiery deep red-brown colour that is the symbol of this outback land while its 40 km shadow races across the plains towards its distant monolithic partner Uluru, shimmering in the twilight haze.
Kata Tjuta, Australia
My fascination with photography started in the 1960s with the publication of the iconic image of a baboon in full flight turning to confront the chasing leopard. Today, the image still acts as a carrot on a stick, taunting me to achieve its standard with the taking of the next photograph. Combine this with the excitement of travel and the world becomes an amazing place, providing opportunity across the photographic genres of landscapes, cityscapes, events, portraits and wildlife.
