Sand Ridges

[Dave Dillemuth]

I ventured out to the dunes with the vision of shooting some wide angle shots at sunrise. Unfortunately the sky was not cooperating, so I shifted to my long lens and shot these backlit ridges.

I just returned with DV on Sunday but with the current forecast I'm toying to head back again in a few days. My wife thinks I'm nuts...

I like what you did with this scene. The backlighting and the distance compression from the long lens makes this one into a printworthy specimen.

Hey Dave,

Who needs sky when you have patterns I like the subtle darkening of the lower right corner bright area to keep the eye in.

What's wrong with several four hour drives in a week? All you need to do is have your wife compare you to Jim or Sunny's driving habits, and you'll appear completely sane.

I can attest first hand that this strategy works quite well

Ha ha.... yeah, Sunny and myself might just be a little crazy! But I think when others view you as crazy, well then you might just be on the right path! So you go Dave!!!!

PS. I will be in Death Valley on Sat and Sun...
