February, 2020 Third Place: Great Sand Dunes at Morning
Contest Number: 162 Contest Theme: Landscape in Monochrome Lens: SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Camera: Pentax K-5 Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F8 
Great Sand Dunes National Park.

My research indicated that, because these dunes lie on the western base of the strip of mountains, there is no morning shot to be had. I had arrived late to the lodge so I slept in a bit. When I awoke, the sun was up and still finding it's way to these dunes. All my gear was packed and ready for a trip up the mountain to photograph a waterfall. I frantically unpacked, set up my tripod and shot until the light was crap.I never made it to the waterfall.

Don't believe everything you read. Allow for the unexpected.
