Image
The Namib Rand Reserve is 202,000 hectares of unspoilt desert wilderness, where the Kalahari bleeds into the Namib desert in a clash of red dunes, camelthorn trees and mountains.

I captured this image with some moonlight from a quarter moon, and some light painting up front. A storm had been passing through all day and lightning was still striking all around.

Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 @ 14mm
f2.8  |  25 seconds  |  ISO-3200

Very nicely done - gotta love the lack of any atmospheric haze allowing a shot like this.
