Basically, I love photography - and travel. You could say I travel to take photographs and take photographs to travel
- Rick Sammon

Another desert shot (dhh). Not much processing here - mainly a crop and a colour boost to bring out the yellows.

Photo Editing: Crop, Shadow/Highlight, Selective Color in Photoshop.

Brilliant colors at the end of the day? The long shadows and the camels resting... Very nice, Sam.

Great stuff and a quote by a man who understands life as we know it.

What is that dark like a halo on top of the dunes? Evening effect or pp?
Samarth: thanks louis...dang, i didnt think anyone would see that halo - sadly, its processing...

Samarth: Cheers Otto...
That looks like arduous travel, but it is a great shot!
Samarth: Pretty long...than you martin...
Morocco tourism board should pay you for helping to promote the beautiful country! Absolutely gorgeous, the pano crop is perfect!!
Samarth: lol, they'll probably charge me for taking pics of their stuff...thanks ashish...
Perfect crop and gorgeous late afternoon colors. Nice work.
Samarth: thank you ayash...i have a feeling your shot today is probably gonna earn another favourite shot spot here tomorrow...

I love these dessert colors, the sky too has an unusaul blue/grey slate color that I don't think I've seen before, at least not this uniform
Samarth: thanks gary...i found that blue/gray colour to be extremely weird as well...probably a result of fast evening condensation...

What hv u done 2 d sky. It looks so fake?? The orange dunes n d sky doesnt go well at all. uve screwed it up. bt d 3 camels sitting together is quite a nice sight 2 see.
Points - 4.5/10
Samarth: dude, havent touched the sky...you gotta account for freaks of nature...

Cool,

You ever going to do a portrait?

Suby
Samarth: thanks...by that do you mean just a proper person shot ( like on the street and stuff?)

these golden tones are spot on master (I do wonder about the eye sight of some of your other commentators!) but I guess they are trying to wind you up! Or perhaps you could point them toward the photographers guide book in Brail! Lovely shot master. Mal
Samarth: lol, u tell 'em malwalker!...thanks a lot...
I agree with Mal, what are the nit pickers picking at. This is a great shot with superb colour.
Samarth: Thanks as always for the support Alistair...

This is a very good shot and your colors are awesome as usual. The panoramic is a very nice touch. They should be paying you.
