After days of scouting for new angles of the Kata Tjuta, I came across this composition with the long Desert Spinifex grass at Twilight.

Kata Tjuṯa, also known as the Olgas, is a group of large, ancient rock formations located in the Red Centre of Australia, in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The name Kata Tjuṯa means “many heads” in the local Pitjantjatjara language, and the site is of great cultural and spiritual significance to the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of the land.

Kata Tjuṯa is made up of 36 steep-sided domes that rise up to 546 meters above the surrounding desert landscape. The rock formations are composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock made up of pebbles and boulders cemented together by sand and mud.

I waited several days before I got the colour I wanted on Twilight, I captured this unique panorama deep in the Kata Tjuta scrub country. Photographed in 6 x 17 Super Roll Film on Fuji Velvia 100.

With the cold winter’s desert temperature dropping to only 6 degrees, I held the exposure on twilight for 1 minute and then double exposed a second time for greater colour depth.
