Playa vibes: Rockets, a model, and a timeless vintage chair
In 2022 we spent a weekend at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to attend Balls XXX, the biggest experimental rocket launch event in the world. The camp is in the middle of a dry lakebed, also called playa, the same place where Burning Man takes place. The playa is big, about 200 sq mi (520 km2). We had time for some model shoots between rocket launches. It became our tradition to take this comfy vintage chair along into the desert every year.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
