| High Noon at The Pinnacles. 12pm June 21st 1998 Western Standard Time, to synchronise with midday on the day of solstice: A global 'Wave' shoot. Location: This is the in the center of the main area of The Pinnacles Desert, a remarkable landscape in the Nambung National Park, 245km north of Perth, near Cervantes, Western Australia. Thousands of limestone pillars stand in a sea of yellow sand, surrounded by low coastal heathlands. The Pinnacles take a wide variety of forms, from eroded, smooth, ancient standing stones to jagged, knife-edged teeth. They were formed by the combined effects of plant roots, calcified layers and erosion. The textures on the stones reflect their evolution. Tech Specs: We used a Canon EOS 620 with 35-105 AF lens, mounted onto a Kaidan QuickPan Magnum Head and Manfrotto Tripod.
