Dune Grass
One of the images I made at Sandwood Bay, this one of some gorgeous little grasses appearing through a low area in the dunes.
I would be interested to hear what you think of this one.

Death Valley National Park, California - December 2015
Velvia 50 4x5, 90mm Caltar Lens
8 seconds at f32, 2 stop soft GND filter
A crazy sunset over a remote dune field in Death Valley. This park really is a fantastic place to visit in the winter. I was able to spend almost every night camped with no other people in sight and had every sunrise and sunset all to myself. It was a wonderful opportunity to catch some solitude and epic desert scenery!
Moersch easylith 20+20+960 on Foma Retrobrom. The print came out darker than expected after drying. I must admit I added some brightness in the scan.

This series-within-the-series focuses on dune features and the interplay between dunes, the personalities sculpted by wind and modeled by light.
In late October, I made a trip to New Mexico to shoot the dunes at White Sands National Park. I hooked up with my close friend and photographer, Sandra Herber. www.flickr.com/photos/sandraherber/ We were at White Sands four days, made eight excursions into the dunes, hiked over 20 miles and shot close to 2,000 photos between us.
We are posting our images at the same time and it will be interesting to see how we handled being in the same locations together. For safety reasons and for the fun of it, we hiked the dunes together, sometimes pointing our lenses in the same direction, other times wandering apart. I am sure we got some similar shots, but it will be interesting to see those that are different as we each have our own way of looking at things, as well as having different focal length coverage. Then there is the processing aspect.
To say White Sands is magical is an understatement. As photographers, we talk about the light, emphasize the light, are critical about the light. The dunes at White Sands react in amazing ways to the change in light, offering different looks, revealing various personalities. It is this diversity of the dunes that I wanted to capture then, and present here now.
While wandering in the desert in my rented yellow Penske truck, I decided to take a few pics. These are south of the Salton Sea in southern Calif.
I didn't build this little rock sculpture - but I'm happy it was there to photograph.
Thanks Everyone!
Another shot from Death Valley National Park. Walking up and down and exploring the dunes is quite fun, and I'm glad that I stayed late enough to see the sun go down.
Dunes, Sand Storm. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A sand storm sweeps across layered dunes.
Here I decided to offer a somewhat more subjective view of a sand dunes scene, photographed late in the day during a period of high winds and a sand storm. If you see this as a calm scene... imaging gale winds blowing across from left to right, carrying large volumes of airborne sand, and the distant views obscured by these clouds filling the atmosphere. It was a wild scene, and I was only able to photograph it for a short period of time.
The question of what is "real" in photographs has long intrigued me. There are few cases in which I believe the goal of a photograph might be to present an objectively accurate rendering of the subject. In fact, I believe that it is actually impossible for a photograph to do that — I like to say that, "All photographs lie." Some who feel differently about this, and who hold that photographs should be "real," point to classic photography when suggesting this. However, if any mode of photography is amenable to creative license, it is black and white photography! The ability to produce an expressively subject image in black and white may be unsurpassed. And here I "went there," with a photograph that aspires not to reproduce objective reality but one that hopes to evoke subjective truth.

No, non siamo nel Sahara e neppure nel Namib, siamo nella fascia costiera desertica del Perù. Enormi dune, alte centinaia di metri, sono teatro di divertimento per i turisti che vengono sbatacchiati su e giù, come sulle montagne russe, con enormi dune-buggy guidate da autisti assolutamente fuori di testa (sulla destra si intravvedono i segni delle ruote).
After a snow fall, the snow melted from the bottom up, but the dunes dried out from the top down.

Just a simple pic of the sand dunes in Death Valley. With all those promising clouds, I was hoping for an explosion of color, but this was about all we got.
I found this photo while going through some old shots, and I thought it looked interesting, so I decided to share it.
The Oregon Coast looking south toward the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. I pulled off the highway to look back after I had passed through this lovely area. I liked how the sea mist obscured the view in the distance.
Pinamar - Buenos Aires - Argentina.
Pinamar is an Argentine coastal resort city located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Buenos Aires Province. It has about 20,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census [INDEC].
Located less than 400 km (249 mi) south of Buenos Aires, it is one of several small seaside communities that line the coast. Since Pinamar's main attraction is the ocean, it is a fairly quiet town during the winter months. Tourism fuels the economy during the summer. Several other coastal towns are right beside Pinamar. If you move south, you will have the towns of Ostende, Valeria del Mar, and finally Cariló.
Two facts set Pinamar apart from most of the other Argentine beach cities: it is a planned city with a very strict building code, and it has been artificially turned from wild sand dunes into a forest (mostly of pine trees, which explains the "pina" in the town's name).
City planning, as defined by founding architect Jorge Bunge and maintained by elected authorities ever since, translates into a city mostly made up of residential houses with open gardens; that, together with the pine forest, combine to make the city a very nice setting. That explains why it has been chosen as the summer resort for many well-to-do Argentinians, in particular those living in Buenos Aires.
Pine planting was originally started in Cariló -- a town nearby Villa Gesell and copied in Pinamar, although the city plan for Villa Gesell was not as carefully laid out or kept through the years.

This series-within-the-series focuses on the relationship between sand dunes and how composition, and color and tonal differences, can interpret the dunes as geometric shapes.
