Itβs amazing how such a simple subject of sand and wood posts can be so sensual. Iβm not a photographer so Iβm not good at talking about tones, light, shadows etc. β this just looks beautiful to me.

The tonal range and detail is just incredible. Is this some sort of film you are using or are you using a digital post-pro technique?

Yes it's a digital shot. I use Adobe Lightroom for B&W conversion and levels and curves work and an old Photoshop version to finalize (sharpen, crop and so on).

Ah, yes, handy program, I don't tend to use it as much though b/c I can't do as much web workflow with it as I'd like. I suppose shooting at sunset/sunrise (it appears you did such, based on the shadows) helps as well. Irregardless, that's some crazy tonal range there. Beautiful

Thanks!
Yes, I often shot at sunset.
Mainly because of my localisation, I live at west, on the seaside. And sunset is the best moment for dunes and beach photographs. This is a better a choice for the light I want to use.
And in fact I don't spend a long time in post production, all the work takes place when I shoot..

Like a serpent.
And I love the shadows and patterns in the sand.
Sand can be so sensual.
Great

Yes, first I wanted to call this shot "serpentine"..
I agree with you Kristine about patterns in the sand, wind and light draw sensual curves and bring a smooth of those arid landscape.. Thanks a lot for this nice comment.
