A photo captured after sunset in the NamibRand nature reserve, where the Kalahari desert bleeds into the Namib desert. It's a wonderland of red sand dunes, camelthorn trees, rocky mountains and flowing grasslands. A place you can get lost in with your camera.

I kept the processing in keeping with a post-sunset feel so as not to make it look over-processed and unnatural.

Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 @ 29mm
f8.0  |  1/125 SS  |  ISO-450
Taken handheld while walking among the dunes with my family.

The chosen comp gives the added feeling of depth here...nice.

WB?...perhaps a slight touch warmer...but, I was not there...
