My dad and I went for another short camping trip. This time to Great Sand Dunes National Park. Our original plan was to camp for two nights, but we were only able to get the campsite for one. We went scouting for first come first serve campsites behind the dunes on the 'primitive' 4x4 road for the second night, but our efforts to find one were thwarted by a creek that we decided was too risky to cross.
The sun was getting low before I headed out for a hike and had already gone behind the dunes, but there was still a bit of glow on the dunes when I took this one. The difference in brightness between the sand and mountains was too great for one exposure so I made a 3 bracket set at +/- 2 stops. The final composite only required two though.
I'm getting the hang of t/s on the WRS lenses. What is working for me is to focus far and tilt near. It usually takes a bit of back and forth to dial it in.
WRS 1600 + Hasselblad CFV II 50C + APO Digitar 43XL f11 (5mm of camera fall and a couple degrees of tilt to get everything from the sand at my feet to the mountains in focus.)
