Behind The Lens
Location
Wadi Rum desert is worldwide famous for Lawrence of Arabia's deeds, as well as for being the stageset for movies like The Martian and others.Time
Early morning is still cold but offers better views and fewer crowds compared with other times of the day.Lighting
The light is already strong but the sun is still relatively low on the horizon, allowing the perception of wonderful sand patterns.Equipment
Nothing more than my camera was needed for this shot (apart from warm clothes, maybe).Inspiration
As soon as our driver Abdullah kneeled to contemplate his desert, I asked him not to move. He offered to turn towards the camera for the most classical tourist photo, but this was not what I had in mind: the shot was so natural! Nothing had to be changed in it!Editing
No post-processing is needed when nature is at her best.In my camera bag
My tripod was not even necessary, given the quantity of available sunlight.Feedback
Elaborate shots might be beautiful, but difficult to achieve. Capturing the best of nature is often easier and offers great results.
