Windswept Sand Dunes of Death Valley, California

Sand dunes are shaped by a particular tool of erosion, wind. It's not rare to see them in action but it's rare to see them photographed. This day was particularly windy and you can really see the wind sweeping the sand all over the place in the Mesquite Dunes of Death Valley.

It was good for me because it provided respite from the hot sun and climate. Not so good for my camera because changing lenses proved to be quite a challenge without sand getting into the sensor.

Have you been to a sand dune?

Holy crap, the colours, this is amazing. Following you has definitely given me the wanderlust...

Location and camera settings are really perfect. Good Photography and nice post.

Brilliant shot! Reminds me of a place back home in Ladakh!

Cool

Looks like the 24mm is perfect for this setting. Did you apply HDR on the final output? Fantastic job overall. 👍

No HDR :) Single photos only. I do blended exposures only when there's too much contrast, like the sun being on the frame.

wery nice and unusual photos!.. and especially interesting for me is - how can I earn here by posting my photos to? I am only few month here and still have nothing, despite the fact that every day I write posts with the best of my photos and information that usually people are interested in... Thank you!

You just have to keep at it. Use #photofeed tag to get more exposure.

That is some great photos. I bet you did have a hard time not getting sand in the camera changing lens and also filters. Hopefully, the camera got a good cleaning when you were done.

Got sand all over the sensor.

Excellent. You have captured nature's artwork on full display, showing off even.

One of the best photography that i have come across.
This is stunning

Very nice post...Support you!

Awesome pictures! Makes you wonder why we humans dont appreciate nature more.

I have never been to a sand view before but with its beautiful view, i can see how intresting is going be visiting such environment.

Nice view ans beautiful photo

The pics are very lovely. You are good at what you do.

water is life and in sandy places there are no water so can say it valley of death.

Wow, the sand dunes on the picture are beautifully captured. Well we do have sand dunes in Malmfatori axis of North eastern part of Nigeria.

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.

someday, hopefully I can visit here .. the scenery is really very beautiful

I love this photo!!
