A few from Great Sand Dunes
I went out shooting at Great Sand Dunes this past Friday with Phillip Noll. Had a blast, even though I did drop my camera, lens first, into the sand. :eek:

Medano Creek still had some water in it.

Tons of room to roam, and we had to setup our tripods right next to each other. :jump:

Last one....for now.

I've got a few more on my website.

I saw Phillips shot of the third one. Both yours and his are very impressive. I like the little rim light on the dunes you have here. I also love the fourth one for the textures and patterns. Beautiful work.

I love #3 and #4 here, but I think #7 on your web site is my fave. Very trippy.

I really like the first one, but the last two are also very nice. It looks like you had a very productive trip.

Love the 'Topography' view on your site!
A unique, abstract perspective of this place. Hope your gear is OK.

All of them are very nice. I really enjoy the first one. Something a little different.

Topography view is fantastic but they are all very impressive.

Nice work. I really like the "compression" and "topography" shots in your gallery.

Good work. #1 and #3 are my favorites. :toast:

I havent dropped my camera, yet, now you've made me paranoid :biggrin:
These are great Adam! #3 is real dramatic, but im partial to #4, thats why i love the dunes so much cause of scenes like that. :smile:

You came away with some really nice stuff. I love "Compression".

Great work, Adam! That 3rd one looks a bit familiar! :biggrin: I think you came away with more "keepers" than I did. Even though the snow in the morning had us questioning the sanity of our choice to head out, it turned into a great day! :smile:

All very good. Hard to pick one. 3 and 4 have a little edge over 1 and 2.

I like them all, but Great-Sand-Dunes-0377 stands out as the best to me. Thanks for posting. :smile:

Thanks for sharing Adam, love the fun-house mirror effect in "compression", must've been taken after you dropped your lens :biggrin:
