Shape in Sand

Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 10, 2010625 views5 comments
This was my first post on NPN, in 2006, from the my only trip to Africa - which is what got me into photography in the first place. It's from Cape Vidal in South Africa that had these amazing dunes. It's still one of my favorite images I've taken, although I do think about what I would have done better if I got another chance at it now!

This was reprocessed a while back for the Travel Photographers Network members book, which I'm proud to say it showed up in. I think the colors and tones are much better, as that's something that I've definitely improved over the years. Plus we get to post them larger now!

Thanks, as always for the last 4 years, for looking!

And thanks to everyone who's helped me, commented on my photos, or posted all the great shots I've learned from. And thanks especially to Jim (and Donna of course)!

This is really nice David. The different colors, shapes, and tones in the sand are pretty amazing, not to mention the lovely water color.

David, although the wave movement here symbolize strong action, the scene to me is very peaceful and inviting. Again, a somewhat dramatic scene with the weather strong cloud cover being added, but still a calming effect overall IMO.
