Sand Notes

[marcookie]

My second attempt at an abstract dune shot... I titled it "Sand Notes" because the shape of the main feature reminded me of a musical note.
A good exercise in figuring out how light and shadows play on the sand. The shapes change so fast close to sunset.

This was taken on the sand dunes in Cape Cod, MA.
Some details about this shot are recorded in this video, where I also talk about travel in landscape photography, and setting an intent when reaching a certain location. Having an intent definitely helped in taking this particular image. During my first visit to Cape Cod, I was shocked that in m any placed it looked like a desert on the East Coast --- and this is what I wanted to show. More videos coming!

Nice shot.

Provide the time on your vlog when you discuss this shot? As an aside, I suggest you reduce the talking on the vlog and show more pictures.

This is the only shot I discuss. Pretty much all the video is about it, except the introduction. Shooting large format at 5-10 dollars a shot makes me more selective on what I shoot
