Evening Light

Here is another photo taken yesterday at Birubi. I love the low light of evening on the dunes and the clouds really looked as though they were going to drop some well needed rain. Unfortunately, we just saw a couple of drops on our way home and that was it. Today has been beautiful sunshine all day, so no rain again.

I have had a lovely day today photographing wine glasses and playing with lighting. I have learned a lot about light and shade and will be posting some of the photos over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for putting the camel on the TP yesterday, I am sure it cheered him up from his naughty corner.

A black and white version suggested by Marnie @golftragic is here

Beautiful. I love how white and snowy the sand looks. Excellently composed too 😊

[Babs]

@olenadole @pcoulson @casablanca @hermann @paul10 Thanks. The sand here is almost white and very soft. It does look rather like snow.

[Babs]

Marnie @golftragic asked if I had tried this shot in b&w, so I thought I would give it a go. So here it is. Which do you prefer?

[Sally Ings]

This is lovely. Looks calming and inviting, whereas the b&w version is rather moody.

[tony gig]

[Jessika Panteleios]

Beautiful capture and composition.

[Suzanne]

Fabulous sky and the sand is just wonderful, oh to be walking on it

looks like this dune needs some footprints in it.
very nice to see.

[Lois]

Lovely sand textures and color

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful shot, Babs.

I think I prefer this one. The colour is subtle, yet gives the shot such a broody feel.

Nice texture!

[Babs]

@salza @danette @tonygig @seattlite @sangwann @craftymeg @beryl @quietpurplehaze @flowerfairyann @happypat @pyrrhula @jessikapanteleios @suzanne234 @gq @loweygrace @mittens @888rachel @gaylewood @kwind Thanks. Interesting comments. This shot and the b&w give a really different feel to them don't they.

[Lee]

Lovely shot, the white sand always gives the appearance of snow.

[Margo Sayer]

I prefer the colour version...it's the moody sky that does it for me.

[Debbie]

[Mandy]

These dunes are just beautiful and you have caught them fabulously.

[Claude Trew]

Lovely shot, great pov and great lighting. I much prefer this one over the black and white version
