Fingerprint

n my last post I mentioned all the sand/dust that comes off of specific river valleys in Kluane National Park. That, of course, means the sand has to get deposited somewhere (other than my camera bag, preferably). When it’s not getting into everything I own, it tends to accumulate in spots where the wind is forced to drop it, like in this scene. This spot right next to the road was somewhat sheltered from wind, allowing the flying sand to fall to the earth and create ever-changing patterns. I tried to shoot this from outside my car, and that was a bad idea. In the end, it was only shootable from inside a closed-window vehicle. And while I had wanted to focus stack, the scene changes incredibly fast as more sand gets deposited and the sand ridges move. In the end, I was able to capture a couple abstracts of the sand which I liked. Kind of reminded me of an ever-changing fingerprint! Enjoy!
