You might be seeing this and saying to yourself, “That Moose is one lucky son a gun!” And you’re right, very, very fortunate but guess what, this is not the photo I wanted! Seriously! In the time it took from the last photo to this, we walked, no I ran 80yards across the sand dune to get to this position to make this shot. A thunderhead that was about 3-4 miles off and towering way into the sky ended up falling apart and was blown into the background you see here. And when did this all happen? Just as the sun set and the color came in. Wow, how lucky was that? Well the photo you see here is a 5frame HDR, yeap, taken handheld with a PC-E lens. That wasn’t luck, that’s good old fashioned well practiced hand holding technique. And even with this while thrilled with the turn of events, I wasn’t satisfied. I had lost the sand dunes from this position. I wanted that element. Would time play out?
