Desertstorm Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Desertstorm on the way to Jaisalmer.

Incessant hot wind
and sand all over
in the hair...
in the pockets...
in the mouth...
and in the heart!

Compositionally I think this would be better with the cart further to the left of the frame and showing a bit more of the sweeping curve of the road. But what this shot does have in abundance is atmosphere. The colours, muted by the wind-blown sand, are attractive and the small bushes bent over in the wind give a good sense of the conditions in which you took the photo.
I can almost taste the sand, good work.

Etonnantes couleurs et drôle d'atmosphère créées par ce vent de sable. J'aime beaucoup cette image, Luca!

Hi Luca,
A good catch indeed. Its incredibly hot in Rajasthan these days. You clicked in April, but it is extreme hot these days.

Fantastic view. The photo has depth due to the curved road along the diagonal. The camel cart is present in the strongest postion on the frame, with only the camel's hooves showing. The space on the left of the cart makes the sensation of lonliness more palpable. The lonely boy looking back is very nice addition, in fact it enriches the photo quite a bit. The color through the haze, the stream of wind from the left to the right of frame, is what makes this photo.

Ciao Luca,
A composition with a special atmosphere. I totally agree with the grain which enhances the "desert storm" feeling only that I would have gone for a bit less, only a bit.
Love the tones, also an inspired framing!
Overall a very interesting composition, quite special. Congratulations!
Best wishes!
