Just busy processing films films from the past year right now.

This image was shot during a sandstorm would you believe. I was actually perched right next to the sand wall you see in the central part of the frame, trying to avoid sand being blown into my eyes (I failed), and trying to avoid the serious high contrast light poking in from the far left side of the frame.

Funnily enough, I don’t recall the colours present in the frame. It was a middle of the day shot, but it was an odd mixture of very harsh light and the sky filled with a lot of sand. I think that caused some kind of diffusion, and perhaps the colours are just courtesy of Velvia, because when there is no colour for Velvia, it just tends to default to blues and magentas ;-)

I’ve had to do quite a bit in post to recover the ground, as I deliberately underexposed the frame to control the highlights in the sky, despite also having a three-stop hard grad on the lens.

I have images from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and a new place to edit over December. I’ve got quite a backlog :-)
