Dinosaurs at Sunrise
A group of us from the San Diego photo club, Polyphoto, went to Borrego Springs this past weekend to see what we could find to photograph. As you drive around the town of Borrego Springs you will see wonderful metal sculptures scattered around like Easter Eggs. They were created by Peris, California artist Ricardo Breceda commissioned by Dennis Avery. Here's a link to more information

This was taken right after sunrise, and I positioned my self so that it appeared to me that the dinosaur was eating the sun. To throw a little light on the foreground sculpture I placed a strobe on a light stand (light on a stick) off to the right. The bare YN560-II was in manual mode and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N radio trigger. I played with the output until I got the result I wanted.
Other desert pictures that I've taken over the years, can be seen, logically enough, in my Desert Set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157612841897129/
This looks best when viewed large on a black background, and you can see it in that enlightened manner by pressing "L" on you keyboard.
