One Shot

twilight in the desert

No desktop for now, I don’t have time this morning to get all of the files ready but I did want to share something new as I continued traveling. This was from White Sands national monument in New Mexico. The sun had left the sky and we were wandering the dunes taking wonderful dark photos in the dim light of the beautiful afterglow of the desert in twilight. It was a wonderful day despite the fact that I had only slept for three hours in a parking lot the night before and driven all day to get there. Im very much looking forward to the rest of this trip, I can’t wait to see what else we discover.

    The sky looks brilliant here! It blends with the foreground so well. Hmpf … and I’m in a boring old suburb.

    Absolutely incredible… I love those soft but intense colors…

    Thanks guys, I will surely add this in a small pack of photos from this area that I have in the coming weeks.

    Craig, nope no special filters. Other than pushing the mid range of brightness up about one stop this shot was straight off the camera.

    The only reason I brightened it up a little was because I had to shoot a bit darker due to the fact I was shooting in a dark environment without my tripod.

    If this shot is not made into a desktop I will weep like a schoolgirl.

    Brilliant shot! I too would weep like a schoolgirl if this shot is not made into a desktop.

    You’re looking forward to the rest of the trip as much as we’re looking forward to all the photographs that will result from it. This particular photo reminds me a scene you would see on one of my favorite tv travel show, No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain.

It’s not fair to artists if you do not credit their work and link back to the original content creator. It is theft plain and simple and blogs that attempt to somehow be mysterious by not giving credit to the creators are simply hurting the artistic community as a whole. If you love it so much then please, support it! The artistic community on the Internet is based on trust. Without trust then what do we have? are you going to be one of the responsible users out there or will you be among the bottom feeders, stealing content and passing it off as your own to make a quick buck in ad sales.

Use your best judgement and we will get along just fine.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
