Dusk over Birubi Beach Sand Dunes by Mike Salway

Dusk over Birubi Beach Sand Dunes by

Shot with Canon 350D, Sigma 17-70mm lens.

The sand dunes at Birubi Beach are just stunning. With the right light it’s almost impossible to take a bad photo of these wonderful objects of nature. And so it was in December 2008 when the sunset painted just the right light on the wind-swept ripples in the sand, creating a wonderful scene to capture.

These photos were taken during my family’s christmas holidays at the end of 2008. I’m glad I finally found the time to finish processing these – it reminded me of what a beautiful location it was.

    The sky is amazing Mike. Well exposed to get the ripples in the sand without burning out the sky. Fantastic.
