I woke up at 4:30am and looked out my hotel room window. Crystal clear, wind speed was zero. Decided to go out to Mesquite Dunes again to shoot it in better conditions before heading home.
The winds from the day before had smoothed and groomed the dunes to perfections. The crystal clear air provided superb light as the sun rose over the horizon. Perfect dune conditions. Worth the effort.
Having learned from the previous day, the only lens I took out on the dunes was the new 70-200 2.8 GM II mounted with the 1.4 TC. I appreciated the light weight walking in the deep sand. The lens worked very well producing excellent, contrast rich, sharp across the frame images, and allowed me to compress the scene in the way I was looking for. Once again, this lens didn't disappoint. It is simply the best long landscape lens I have ever used along with it's other amazing capabilities.
Below is one of about a dozen images I got that I liked. Enjoy.
