Ripples I Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

While vacation in Puerto Peñasco, MX, I saw intesting sunlight reflection on sand ripples during low-tide at Sunset. I decided to use a fisheye lens, hoping to enhance the effect of the ripples. I had a 50% neutral graduated filter with me and it would have saved the overexposed sun spot (without underexposing the ripples). Unfortunately, the ND filter is for my other 77mm thread lenses not designed for fisheye.

Visit puerto-penasco.com for more information especially the "What else to know when in Mexico" section. It's a lovely fishing village, great for vacationing.

Unique POV, and I like how you used a fish-eye lens. The contrast and reflection of the over-exposed sun actually brings out the contours of the sand ripples, so I like it! -Lara

Hi nap,

the effect with the fisheye in the curved horizon is interesting as is the way the light falls in the ripples in the sand.

Nice capture Nap. The fisheye has added some distortion which has given this image a surreal quality. Well spotted and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
