The Sound Of Silence - a photo on Flickriver

The Sound Of Silence

For the first time since I bought my D800, I took it for a ride in the desert. I must admit that it is tough to shoot in the desert, for several reasons: tough physically, walking up and down those dunes with the camera gear is tiring, it's challenging to find an interesting composition, you must be careful not to leave your foot steps in the area you might want to shoot, it's all about light and shadows, hence you have to shoot in relatively harsh light to get nice shadows and contrasts, I also have lots of shots with lens flare (the 14-24mm is really bad for that).
