Description
I just got back spending a weekend photo-shoot with professional photographer, Efrain Padro (www.padroimages.com). I got this opportunity through our local community college, here in Santa Fe. We did 3 shoots at White Sands, NM. I'm not going into any history of White Sands, other than to say that it was an amazing, beautiful place. As most good landscape photographers, we shot early in the morning and just before sunset in the evening. I learned a lot about my camera, as well as lighting and composition. I will be sharing some of my best shots with you fine folks this week.
Any positive comments or critiques are always wwelcome.
The only PS work I did was tweeking the levels and exposure.

Amazing! The light, the mood,... Perfect :)
Absolutely stunning light and composition! The early/late sunlight is pure magic! Exquisite!
Nice opportunity grabbed... And the results are great. Not a fan of the border (a bit to complicated for my tastes where black or white normally brings the photo out more than "complementary colours"...imo of course).
Awesome alright. Glad you had the opportunity to learn more about your camera. Something I need to learn a lot of. Great shot. Looking forward to seeing more soon. Aloha
Stunning! :^)
Amazing capture. Great point of view and mood. I agree with inshaala about the frame.
Gorgeous capture, Ray. The colors in this are fabulous, as is your compo and pov. Definately one of your very best photos, ever. Congratulations and bravo and all that good stuff!!! Have a beautiful Sunday! - Ynyh....who's very jealous of this shot, lol.
Very beautiful capture. Outstanding. Aloha
Wow..beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest.
Fantastic photo, perfect light!
very nice comp, the light is great!
Fabulous! The way the light highlights the ripples in the sand and the clean break on the edge of the dunes is perfect. And the sky in the background adds the perfect touch. Wonderful composition. Please give us more of the Southwest, I love it!
It is wonderful what the time of day can do for a shot. This is beautiful and really shows of the shadows that define the different textures. The colors work beautifully.
