Sun was starting to set behind the dunes so it was really yellow making the dunes really orange as-well as people's skin. It was easy to get beautiful colors at that time and place.Equipment
If i'm not wrong the lens was a Tamron 70-210mm, f/4. Camera was a Canon I don't remember which one.Inspiration
It was an excursion to the deep dunes with the objective to sleep there, but the walk was long and on the camel. But at some point when the light was beautiful I went walking a bit and the guide was amazed by cameras so he was looking all the time. At some point the perspective was good and he turned around at the same time and I took the chance to do it.Editing
I did post processing with Lightroom to create an atmosphere and focus in the middle by darkening a bit the sides. Also played around with saturation but not so much.In my camera bag
Now I have a Fujifilm xt-1 with a 55mm f/1,2 and a 18-55mm lens, with its flash and Manfrotto tripod. If its not this one I go with an analogue Minolta x-300 with a 50mm lens which makes the most beautiful shots.Feedback
Enjoy the trip or visit. Don't focus on the photos in a camel walk because it can be long and frustrating because of a similar landscape. Use the moment when you feel more comfortable to capture your nice view. Since the landscape will be always awesome in the desert the most important is the moment you choose.
