Solitude In The Dunes

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted May 9, 201179 views8 comments

If you look closely you can see my footprints weaving through the dunes below. I really like this portion of the Eureka Sand Dunes as I've yet run across anyone else while i've been there. I've only seen footprints on occasion.

I really like the "areial" look to this image. These dunes were a couple hundred(?) feet below me. Felt like a thousand while hiking up here though! ;)

This is really nice Cory, love the tones and textures. The main line through the diagonal of the image is strong and makes for a pleasing composition. Great shot.

And if what I think are your footprints are indeed your foot prints, you got a nice workout getting to this spot.

I like this Cory. Really is an interesting view with all the shapes, shadows and light. Interesting to follow your tracks too. It does look like a workout! Nice work.

Another stunning B&W Cory. Wonderful light and shadow play.

I like this unusual perspective for a sand dune shot. I would not expect to be able to find such a high POV in this environment. The footprints give us a nice sense of the size of the view, but I had to look close to see them. I think if you display this, it would be good to use a title that calls attention to the footprints.

Love the aerial feel to this and the line of your footprints in the sand. Conversion is perfect.

Beautiful work Cory. The aerial look is indeed very interesting and certainly an asset of this composition. Technically this looks perfrect too.
