Ambient photography in the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado

  • Last stop in my spring road trip across the American West: the breathtaking Great Sand Dunes National Park, in Colorado. I only had a full day there, but so many things to capture and enjoy. From the howling coyotes that woke me up in the middle of the night under a full moon, to the relentless wind and menacing thunderstorms, this place is always a challenge. Which makes the images you make there the more rewarding.

    What an other worldly location. Stark and beautiful.

      I love the Great Sand Dunes, and it doesn't have nearly as many visitors as other parks. A favorite of mine for sure.

    You don't need bad weather conditions, fogs and wind, even in the desert, you also express black and white poetry!

      Absolutely, the sand dunes are a great place to photography in sunny / partly cloudy conditions!

    There’s something special about the forms and textures of a windswept sandy landscape. I very much enjoyed this video and the fine images … thanks! 📷🙂

    Fantastic. The photographs, the coyotes howling, the wind blowing, the sound of the sand beneath your feet.... just fantastic.

    Hi Adrian, this was certainly a different video to your other ones but in a good way. I loved the sand, it can't be easy walking on the Sand, but if anyone can do it, it's you Adrian. Great moving clouds, the Sun Starburst looked nice, i bet it looked better in real life. Also the Shadow's in the Sand dunes looked great with the Ambient light. Thanks for sharing 😊

      Glad it was useful in that way then :) It's a beautiful park, a landscape you wouldn't expect to find there. I love the contrast between the sand dunes and the snowy mountains surrounding them. You'll love it if you decide to go there. Thanks!

    Super pics, but you missed the Alligator Farm in nearby Mosca, CO 🐊🐊🐊. It would have been a great juxtaposition.

      @aows  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It did, it's ready for the next adventure! It'd be hard to get lost there because you can always climb a tall dune to find your way back, or at least have an idea... but yeah, there are miles and miles of dunes, you can go very deep.
