Dead trees and sand dunes in blistering hot sunlight at Deadvlei, Sossusvlei Salt Pan, Namib Naukluft National Park, Namibia
The iconic Deadvlei in the Namibian desert is truly a special place on this planet. I had woken at 4am this morning and was first in line waiting to enter the national park of Sossusvlei Namibia. Upon arriving at the parking area I then proceeded with a long tiring walk in soft dune sand to arrive at Deadvlei which is nestled in between some very large dunes. The sight is quite spectacular yet almost ghostlike and being the first person there I had plenty of time to size up an area I had seen so many photographs of over the years. The textures, shapes and constrasts are indeed quite something and I decided to try something different with this image. I waited until the sun was a bit higher to achieve what I had in mind. I specifically wanted to express in an image the feeling of being in the desert under the blazing african sun with not a drop of water in sight. This was taken at 9am in the morning and the mercury was already approaching 30 Degrees Celsius. Image taken with a Nikon D3s, Nikkor 14-24mm lens @ 14mm, ISO 200, 1/200, f/22. Raw and Processing adjustments included Exposure, Vibrance/Saturation, Noise Removal, Curves and Sharpening

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of Deadvlei, a unique and iconic location in Namibia's vast desert. The image showcases the stark contrast between the dead trees and the towering sand dunes, all illuminated by the scorching rays of the African sun. The photographer's dedication is evident as they woke up at 4am to be first in line at Sossusvlei National Park. After a long and arduous trek through soft dune sand, they finally arrived at Deadvlei, a sight that is both awe-inspiring and hauntingly beautiful. Having seen countless photographs of this extraordinary place over the years, the photographer wanted to capture something different with this image. Waiting for the sun to rise higher in order to achieve their vision, they aimed to convey not only the textures and shapes but also evoke a sense of being in an unforgiving desert under relentless heat. Taken at 9am when temperatures were already approaching 30 degrees Celsius, this photograph truly encapsulates that feeling of desolation with no water in sight. Shot with precision using top-notch equipment, including a Nikon D3s camera and Nikkor lens, it was then meticulously processed to enhance exposure, vibrance/saturation levels while reducing noise. Mitchell Krog has skillfully captured nature's raw beauty in this stunning photograph from Fine Art Storehouse - an exquisite piece that transports viewers into another world where life meets its limits amidst breathtaking landscapes.
