Description


This had been a lot of fun, trying my skills against a steep slope, slipping and sliding and sand everywhere ruining any good camera - and one does not find a willing model everyday to capture doing dune surfing! These sand dunes are also called the "roaring sands" because of the sound, not unlike a lion emanating from the sands under ones feet.

Thanks to Rachelle for being patient and willing - I can only hope I captured the energy, motion and youth well.

Thank you for your constructive comments on the previous upload:

Hmmm - ek kan dink aan 'n paar ander plekke wat ook vol sand is na so 'n afwaartse skaats!!!! Fantastic action shot Piet. Well done to you and your model. It looks like great fun! :)

From the title, I thought the photo would be a lion in a sandy part of the Kalahari! I think I like this one better. Rachelle sure is having fun posing for Oom Piet!That's what makes it a super capture.
