A brief stop off at Southerndown on Glamorgan Heritage Coast. It was so windy, I could barely stand... .

As the splash in the background testifies after one studies the scene. Thanks.

Pentax 645z, 28-45 Done with in camera multi shot function as I did not have a ND filter with me.. forgot it at the cabin.

Thank you for pointing out that brilliant work-around. I'll need to delve into this mode when I get time.

As is probably evident I am keeping myself busy in the Namibia folder, discovering new perspectives on old edits and binned images alike.

These pictures are from Death Valley in Sossus Vlei. These old charcoaled trees must have been standing here for hundreds of years. Nothing rots there, it only withers away. Makes you stop and wonder about time if you stop to absorb the landscape, that is in-between the tourists and selfie junkies.

We were fortunate to stay at a Government owned lodge within the restricted area, which gave us an hour head-start before the entrance gates opened to the public. That is the only way to get to Death Valley before sunrise, since there is a dusk to dawn curfew on driving. This area has some large antelopes and at night they can't see the car, only the head lights and when they cross the road they come running and try to jump over the head lights, but end up hitting the vehicle. The consequences are usually bad and sad for the occupants of the vehicle. Hence the curfew.

EDIT: Added a third picture of a famous dune close to Death Valley.

Playing around at lunch at Bell's Ford, location of a former covered bridge that collapsed about 15 years ago. Not my best work, Trying to figure out how to make the branch coming from the left stand out. Open to suggestion.

Was digging through some slides I took over 30 years ago. Have been slowly digitizing them with the 645z and 120 macro.
Original image was taken with the Pentax 67 using Fuji Provia slide film.

I originally tried monochrome but since the tree is in the same tonal range as the sand, it got lost. Color looked even worse, so what was posted was a monochrome image layered over a color image. Best I could come up with at 11:00 at night.

Since you have no shadows, you need to play with the black and white levels.
Start with monochrome, up the exposure to almost blowing out the whites and then adjust from there.
Possibly a light vignette at the end.

You could try isolating the branch as a selection/mask.
