Mesquite Dunes - a photo on Flickriver

Mesquite Dunes

            This a shot is from Death Valley National Park of the Mesquite Sand Dunes. It takes special conditions to from dunes out of sand. The Mesquite Dunes have those conditions and stand about 100 feet high.   

The Technical – Zoomed to 65mm ISO:  100 f/32 1/3 sec. – I used a slower shutter on this to capture some of the wind blowing the sand but any slower and I would get too much camera shake. I chose the 65mm instead of shooting wide because I wanted to show the height of the doon. The wider angel would have made it look too flat. I chose to put the leading line coming from the lower right because I thought it felt natural with the image.
