Uluru Sunset by Norm Solomon

October 2026 - Uluru Sunset

About the Image(s)

This image was taken near Uluru
(also known as Ayers Rock) in Australia in April 2026. I was fascinated by the color of the sky and thought that the setting sun `peeking out’ made the image unique. That night the sun did not reflect directly on Ayers Rock but instead on the landscape on the other side of it making the image somewhat different from the traditional Ayers Rock images one often sees.
Comments/Suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Norm
Nikon Z50-2, 250mm, Iso 100 F9 1/250

It's always a good idea to look behind you for the unique shot that others do not capture.
What pops out to me is the white sun which is where my eye goes. I'm not sure if this is "blown out" or not. You could check the histogram of the photo. If it is, you might be able to adjust in post processing.
I do not know where the Ayers Rock is and had to Google it. I wonder what is in the dark foreground which might give an indication of the location if you are useing as a travel photo.
I, like you, find the sky very fasinating. The gold color and shapes are unique.   Posted: 10/15/2026 14:52:31

This beautiful photo captures a special moment in nature. Its vibrant colors catch your eye right away, while the layers of clouds and their fascinating shapes create an exciting sky. The sun near the bottom draws your attention and gives the image a strong focal point.   Posted: 10/16/2026 20:33:35

The wonderful colours of nature make fabulous photographs. On this occasion you have chosen to ignore the famous view and take in the spectacle of the setting sun. Well done for trying something different in that location.   Posted: 10/18/2026 10:04:01

The colors and lines of clouds in this image are amazing. I was so captured by it I didn't even notice the sun for awhile. When I take sunsets, if possible I always like to capture a few shots before the sun goes below the horizon, but always like to wait to take more after it goes below. I often like one of these the best. With this beautiful shot, you correctly in my opinion, put the horizon very low. You just need a base for the picture. I recall when we went to Africa many of the images I saw were like this. Before that I might of made the mistake in my opinion, of placing it based on the rule of thirds.   Posted: 10/20/2026 22:25:59
