Location: White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
Collection: Landscape Sand Dunes New Mexico
Camera: Nikon D80. Lens: 105mm, 2-minute exposure
Photographer's note: The sweeping, graceful sand dunes at White Sands National Monument are unlike any others I've seen. On this shoot, I wanted to honor that beauty with images that would show the magic of these dunes not normally seen in popular photographs of the area. I received permission from the Department of the Interior to enter 2-hours before sunrise for photographing. A hike of several miles across isolated dunes and gullies was made easier by a full moon that reflected off the sand. This image taken with an exposure of 2 minutes reveals the soft graceful shapes and patterns that make this location so beautiful and at the same time, almost unearthly.
