Yesterday, I picked up a new sleeping bag for chilly weather. I realize it's still a number of months until winter (I know, I know, it's not even summer yet) but I can't wait to get back out here next winter and do some camping.

There is something very special about the way the light hits the Mesquite Dunes early in the morning...

Recently I've been experimenting with different processing techniques. While editing this image, I added the 'Spring' filter from the Landscape tab in +onOne Software's Perfect Effects 4, which added a slight glow on the dunes.

On this particular morning, we made the trek out to the dunes, despite the lack of clouds. For some reason, though I shot here during my last trip in 2010, I forgot how long the hike to the untouched dunes actually took. (Most are covered in footprints.) After walking for around 30 minutes, I decided to stop and take a shot here I blue hour was over. Shortly after I finished the final shot, the sun was up and lighting the dunes with an amber glow.
