I am in Death Valley for the weekend. This morning the wind was blowing amazingly hard.n I went to Mesquite Dunes for sunrise anyway. The good thing about the wind is that it kept people away, and completely removed all footprints from the day before.
Th sand was blowing so I didn't want to walk out too far into the dunes. The length of the 70-200 helpd a lot with this. Even though the camera was mounted on a very sturdy tripod the wind induced enough movement that I had to bump my ISO to get a fast enough shutter speed.
The blowing diffused the rising sun, and soften all of the surfaces, colors, and edges. Not the detailed sand patterns I went to shoot but still a nice pastel.
This lens makes an excellent landscape tool in addition to everything else it does so well.
Enjoy!
