after an hour of dune bashing rollercoaster ride, we were brought to the highest peak of rock and sand to watch the sunset. it was a great view of the desert so vast, showing the nature’s grandeur.

in this post, i used different reference points to get the sense of scale of the landscape. the photo above, i captured the trio suvs maneuvering through the sand. as for the photo below, putting more sky in the frame looked like an earthen sea.

the most obvious thing to do is place someone in the foreground, like the photo below, which will also add some foreground interest.
