Making the Photo: Making Waves

Welcome to the second installment of "Making the Photo" by Dear Bubbles! For this month, I'm featuring a photograph I get a lot of questions about. It's called "Making Waves" from January 2023 in Death Valley National Park in California. After all, it's "dune season" right now! Can't even get enough of those sand dunes! In this video, get a behind-the-scenes look at why this scene caught my eye, how I approached the scene from a creative and technical perspective, what exposure settings and other camera equipment I used, and the processing techniques I used to polish my image into my final vision. Hear more about how light, shadow, and color can help grab attention and deliver the appropriate meaning for your intended message.
