Behind The Lens
Location
Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert.Time
0600 in the morning at sunriseLighting
Every morning people rush to beat the sunrise in Sossusvlei national park and be the first ones to enter the gates. The reason being to view the beautiful dunes in the morning light. I found these 2 separate means of transport moving in perpendicular directions with the same goal quite interesting.Equipment
Canon 7D MkII with Canon 70-200 l 2.8 ISII lens - hand heldInspiration
The morning sun shining through the dust blown by the vehicle and highlighting the baloons created a dramatic contrast.Editing
Very light exposure adjustment and cropping using LightroomIn my camera bag

Photography is about getting the 4 dimensions right - X, Y, Z and T( time). Right place, right angle , right plane and right time. :-)
