Driving on the playa towards the Mad Max camp

We spent the last weekend of September at Balls 29, a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. We camped in the middle of the playa (dry lakebed). At sunset we drove to the Mad Max camp at the edge of the playa -- more on that later. You can drive very fast on the playa, and you can see cars for miles because of the big dust cloud. The playa ground is soft; driving on the playa feels like driving on snow.

 

I processed a photographic, balanced, and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
