I was hoping for some clouds but they blew out before sunset. But it still turned out good.

I found this shot while tidying my hard drive. This was taken back in 2008 at Kohimarama Beach, Auckland.

Very windy this day, I wasn't sure how the the image would turn out on account of the wind, but it seemed to come out well.

This photo tells the story behind my shot of the sunrise on top of Dune45 in the Namib, the world's oldest desert. The wind constantly blows the sand over the edge of the dune, giving it its unique shape and keeping it in place. The wind blows equally often and strong from West and East, making the dune itself immovable. I was thrilled by the thought of how many millions of grains of sand are blown over the edge of this and all the other dunes in the desert every second. This photo captures a few of them in flight.

I got myself some new filters and this was one of the results, i think it came out well. I took this shot just North of Bodega Bay, California at sunset. The foam really caught my eye. With a footprint-free beach it just seemed to all flow together.Canon EOS 40D, EFS 17-85mm, Cokin neutral density filters.

I took this picture on my recent trip through Southern Africa. We went to climb up the famous Dune 45 close to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert at about half past five to see the sunrise from the dune. This picture is taken just before the Sun appeared over the horizon. The colours were amazing and the untouched dune before me was truly magical.
