A Sand Dunes Photo Adventure + Desert Camping

Desert camping. An unbelievable sunset. The first photos taken with a new lens. This Photo Adventure has it all!
I love camping, but it's usually at a lake in the mountains surrounded by beautiful pine trees. But when the opportunity came up to camp out at Bruneau Dunes State Park, I jumped at the chance. Since photographing these dunes last year and not getting the shots I wanted, I was super excited for the opportunity to have a second chance of photographing these incredible sand structures. And this year, I have upgraded equipment, including the amazing 70-200mm zoom lens.
Guys, this photo adventure did not disappoint, and I can't wait to share it with you! So if you're curious how epic this sunset really was, or how my very first shots with the 70-200mm lens turned out, or even how I survived desert camping, check out this super fun Photo Adventure!
To see the before and after photos (with EXIF Data), see my blog post here:

Up next... I hope you enjoy this Photo Adventure in the desert. It truly was an epic one for us and super fun to put together for you! Next up, I'm taking you with me on a hike through the Idaho mountains in search of some pretty amazing waterfalls.

Great shots and editing! It's nice to see Idaho through your lenses! The lake offered some very unique captures. Shared to Twitter!

Awww, thanks for the share to Twitter! I sure appreciate it. Glad you’re enjoying the adventures!

What a beautiful location. You came away with some really nice images, and the drone footage was enjoyable to watch also. You were there at a good time, getting to work with those excellent conditions. That sky was something else. Thanks for posting.

Glad you enjoyed the drone footage! I’m so glad Steve talked me into using a drone last year… we’ve been having a blast with it!

[@AliasJimWirth]

@@lovethatshotadventures I think you will do really well with it. It adds a nice perspective when done well.

What awesome skies you had to work with, your photos turned out fantastic! 🎉 ** Haha, I love your cute little, "Damn-it!" Been there, done that! 😁

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Haha! It can be frustrating when you forget gear!! But we made it work. 😁

Hi Misti, I can't believe how diverse the landscape is in your area! So beautiful! I also love the shot with the two people walking on the dune. Nice work!! We have our fair share of mosquitos here as well - not a fan at all! Apparently apart from using deet, they say it's beneficial to wear light clothing (white/khaki). Never tested that theory to be honest with you. From your neighbour to the north, wishing you and your family a great 4th of July!!!

So glad you enjoyed the adventure, Gord! I appreciate the tips for dealing with mosquitoes… they’ve been pretty bad this year! I’ll have to test out the light clothing and report back. 😁 And thanks so much for the holiday wishes!

Very pretty pics Misty (or Missy?)! You really did have some amazing conditions! I’ve been out car camping the last 3 weeks and the mosquitoes have been relentless 😂

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Haha! You’re right, it’s Misti! 😁 Man, the mosquitoes have been bad everywhere this year. Have you found anything that keeps them at bay? The spray I’m using just isn’t cutting it.

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

@@lovethatshotadventures okay Misti 😉 I have tried so many solutions for mosquitoes and the stuff with deet works. I hate to use them though. Covering my skin and even wearing one of those nets you put over the face helps.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

@@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography Thanks for the tips, Patricia!

Hi misti, that was absolutely fantastic, for me it was the picture of the two people walking across the dune giving a perspective of scale and also the amazing sky. Thanks for anther great video
