Location
Dead Vlei NamibiaTime
Taken at dusk with the warm light and shadows. We were here all on our own !! quite and deserted !!!Lighting
Beautifully soft light with the desert warmth.Equipment
Canon 5D Mk 3, Tripod, cable release,Inspiration
This location is iconic and we were staying inside the region so we could time our visit after all the visitors had gone ( not allowed to stay past dusk !)Editing

Everything that I require, 2 camera's, filters ( Lee)Feedback
Try to stay inside the park their are a few expensive lodges within the area. You are no longer allowed to stay at night, must be out by dusk. This iconic location requires the photographer to absorb the possibilities and make the most of the light. I preferred dusk for it's soft warmth as against dawn with it's cool blue. Plenty for the photographer to get excited about but it can be overrun by photographers/visitors so time your visit !!!!
