This image was in the Empty Quarter of the Liwa district in the UAE. This was sunset from one of the highest dunes in the area. My objective was to capture the vastness of the desert.

I think this is the best one of the bunch. Red red sun, ripples in the sand and contrasting blue horizon. That's what I love about it.

Location
This photo was taken in the "Empty Quarter" of the Abu Dhabi Province. This is near Liwa in the United Arab Emirates.Time
We were visiting the Qash Al Sarab desert Resort in the Empty Quarter of the Abu Dhabi Province in the UAE. We climbed the higher dune in the area and took this image of the sunset. The image was taken at 4:55pm.Lighting
This dry barren world lights up at sunrise and sunset to give you these dramatic images.Equipment
Canon 6D, Tamron 15-30 wide Angle Lens and using a Tripod.Inspiration
I wanted to capture the vast landscape with nothing but dunes. I visited the area earlier but were not there during sunrise or sunset. I went back to the area to get this bucket-list image.Editing
The image was taken using bracketing. I processed the image using Aurora HDR and refined it in Photoshop.In my camera bag
Canon 6D with 24-105 Kit lens, Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens, Tamron 15-30 Wide Angle, Tamron 150-600 zoom, TripodFeedback
Advice from my side is to take a tripod with you. When you struggle with contrast use HDR. Always make sure you have a strong foreground.
