SAND DUNES

SAND DUNE PHOTOGRAPHY

Sand moves and sand moves me. For a photographer, the most exciting time on the dunes is in a gale. For everyone else, hope for a calm day! Light changes and reflects and light has changed me and caused me to reflect. Texture adds depth to sensuous lines created in the sand by wind and light. Let your emotions sink into these images!

Rob Strain's ebook How to Photograph Sand Dunes of the American Southwest is available here.
