Finding Balance by NathanielMerz

By far the most beautiful natural curve I have ever seen. This area is usually filled with water but this scene was exposed due to a drought we have been having in Korea for the past year or so. I hope it ends soon but it’s hard to deny the beautiful scene here that I might not have otherwise.

+++ PLEASE VIEW ON BLACK +++

This is the sixth image from my award-winning series, but I never officially entered this one as it didn’t add to the flow. However, as a standalone I think it works quite well with that receding tree line.

In terms of post processing my main concern was to keep the contrast down. I converted the shot to black and white and deliberately did not set the black point and the white point. I wanted to make this look like a pencil drawing, so it needed to stay sort of grayish.

Conditions like this a pretty rare in Deadvlei, but I hope that we’re going to be lucky again next year.

Due to popular demand we have added a second Namibia Untamed tour for 2016, and exceptional landscape photographer Ryan Dyar will lead that tour.

If you want to visit Namibia, look no further. We were the first company to offer photography tours to Namibia, and there is no better organized Namibia tour out there. Also, we are still the only company that offers microlight flights over the famous Namibian sand dunes.

If you’re interested in joining Ryan to Namibia, please check out our website for more information, images, video clips, and a very detailed tour PDF: http://www.squiver.com

Hope to see you there!

An hour an a half racing against the sun as we drive out from an uncooperative Mt. Cook National Park weather just to catch that final kiss of sunset light on these muddy cracks of Lake Tekapo was all worth it!

How can such a thing be so unsightly and be beautiful at the same time? Lol! Hope you like it guys!
