The sand dunes of Northern Namibia, while inhospitable, can produce some very spectacular imagery. As a photographer, I had to work very hard to capture in digits, what my eyes could seen. While the advances of modern digital cameras have been nothing short of spectacular, they are still a long way from the dynamic range of the human eye. The image below was taken in Northern Namibia, deep in the dunes, looking north directly toward Angola.

I am in the process of getting ready to head off to Africa again. In doing so, I am taking some time to rearrange my image storage and management scheme. Just finishing up with my images from my May 09 Namibia trip in hopes of releasing the Namibia gallery before I leave – we shall see. So here is the shot, deep from the dunes inland from our Skeleton Coast base camp. Looking at this image, I was instantly transported back to the dunes; a place that I found very difficult to photograph, yet a place that I must return to.
