Dunes in Motion, GSDNP

[Jon Buffington]

Here is another image I have yet to share, from 2014. It is fun revisiting the archives to see what images you prefer over the ones from yesteryear.

Nice b&w and great mood! The wind blown sands are a neat touch, too!

I like the effect of the sand in motion - nice that the clouds almost seem to match the dune surface ripples.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice shot and processing. Agree with Alan on the clouds.

Very nice Jon! I can feel the sand blowing against my feet in this. That's great that you were able to capture the blowing sand.

As for digging through the archives, I did that last night going back through my 2006 archives in search of some photos of Bodie I wanted to post in our Historical Forum. Well, I found them, but then I got lost in there and spent the evening looking at photos from Huntington Beach, Antelope Canyon, etc that I then copied to a current hard drive to process.

Thank you!

Thank you and yes, that was what drew me to the image.

Thank you kindly

I unfortunately lost a huge amount of my older archives (2006-2010). I have a frozen hardrive that I am one day going to get the nerve enough to try and rescue some files. I have another external that the usb port *I think* is broken so if I crack it open maybe I can rig something. A shame as it was a new hardrive and I was using it to backup a large portion of my 2010-2013 archives. Now I put all on my website (though hidden) and go back from time to time. That seems more productive. As long as I pay my yearly fees I have unlimited storage.

Stark, beautiful and the blowing sand works great.
