Details: |
While researching ideas to photograph the Great Barrier Reef I decided that the best way to capture it would be from above. This was my first Aerial shoot and it was quite challenging with a panoramic rangefinder camera that normally requires the use of a tripod for long exposures.
During early 2010 I commenced a four week road trip from my home town of Melbourne all the way to Cairns. I planned to organise a private helicopter charter during the trip to shoot the Great Barrier Reef however the charter was almost cancelled due to an unforeseen car breakdown and inclement weather. Luckily though, after waiting for almost a week, 3 days of calm weather were forecast so I booked a helicopter charter and prayed for perfect conditions. Well my prayers were certainly answered!
With much anticipation leading up to the flight, it was all over very quickly. Flying at 3000 feet hanging out of a helicopter without doors is certainly not for the faint hearted, but it sure was an experience that I will never forget! This was the very first shot that I captured once the helicopter took off and was the only one of this part of the reef. In fact with only 4 shots on each roll of film I ended up with a total of only 12 shots to choose from.
After viewing this photograph it is obvious that the Great Barrier Reef must be viewed from above to be fully appreciated.
