White Sands, Red Sky

White Sands, Red Sky. Image © 2006 Michael D. Lewis

Description — This is a photograph of the White Sands Desert, New Mexico at sunset. It was taken on March 30, 2006.

Camera Nerd Info — Linhof Super Technika V 4×5 view camera, Nikkor-M 300mm f/9 lens, Fuji Provia 100F film, exposure 8s @ f/45.

Commentary — As the sand in White Sands Desert is white, it reflects the color of the sky quite well. In a scene like this I don’t know if I should correct the color of the sand back to white or just leave it as it is. This image appears as I remember the scene, so I did no color correction. The image is slightly cropped.
