Behind The Lens

Location

this photo i make in oman in the wahiba sands. my dream was to make sand dunes. as we book a tour with the AIDA DIVA ship cruise we booked on board a daytour to the wahiba sands. this was on the 21.dec 2014. i'm worry about the daytime sun, but in the wintertime is the sun not so high and i got in the midday some shadows in the dunes. so i was lucky too, to get this nice photographs. everyone sit in with the guides and i run in the dunes to find the right spot for me.

Time

this was about midday or about 01.00 pm

Lighting

only daytime light and to the sun on the leftside

Equipment

i only use the 5D Mark 3 and the 16-35mm 2.8 cannon lens.

Inspiration

i love dunes and i run in the sands to find the right position and go down in the sands.

Editing

yes, i process first in lightroom 5 and send to photoshop 6. here i clean up the sands and sharpen little bit the waves and make with the nik software some color.

In my camera bag

i have a lot, my bag is every lens inside and flash. i have the macro 100mm 2.8 canon lense, the 70-200mm 2.8 with the 1.4 extender from canon, the 16-35mm with polarised filter and the 50mm 1.8 lens from canon and a tamron 24-70mm 2.8.

Feedback

my advice is, if you go with the grouptour like by me, take you time to get one good photo. because if you want get more you need more time as the group wait for you.
