I like how your pants blend with the sand and your jacket goes with the sky colors and shadows.

Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO, atop one of tallest dunes towering over the rest. The height difference skews perspective of the grandness of the other dunes.Time
AfternoonLighting
Golden hour, golden photography.Equipment
Canon 7D, 10-22mm ultra-wide, Tripod, graduated ND filter.Inspiration
I have a whole series of myself standing atop epic scenery. Inspired by a lack of photos of myself despite how much I shoot. I'm not into "selfies", so these are my versions of them.Editing
Shot in RAW. Standard processing / color correction.In my camera bag
Canon 7D, 18-135mm, 10-22mm, CP filters, .6 ND filter, Square ND Grad filters.Feedback
Find an epic overlook, use a tripod, take the photo that you want to hang on your wall, leave the cam on the tripod and go stand in the shot using previous shots as frame reference. "Epic Selfie" success.
