Hi Mike & Chris...Great video, You two even make sand look awesome. I like the "tutorial" videos, its nice to know what you are thinking and the process to get there, keep them coming. Absolutely beautiful photos of the dunes, i will never look at one again the same way.

[@PereaPhotography]

Tye Eggleston thank you so much Tye. We really appreciate the feedback!

"The long lens is gonna be your best friend..." Way to hit me right in the feels first thing in the morning! You know that be my life motto. 😀 Love those images!

[@PereaPhotography]

Brent Hall haha I know your heart buddy!

[@DeltaDgtlAnimation]

The first pano is definitely my favorite. Killer shot! Keep it going guys!

[@PereaPhotography]

M1keDelt4 thank you!

[@ellyelzinga01]

Nice pictures! And I'm so jealous of the weather you're having there.. We have nothing but rain and storms here..

[@PereaPhotography]

Elly Elzinga yeah we’ve had a pretty good run haha. It was raining here in Arizona the last few days but cleared up and beautiful again!

[@RichardBO9]

Beautiful images! Especially liked the black and white. 😍 One other tip is to vacuum your camera bag out when you're done in the sand.🤠

[@PereaPhotography]

Richard Bonine, Jr. haha very true and thanks so much Richard!

[@josephcole3187]

Great detail images guys 23 more days i cant freakin wait 😀

[@PereaPhotography]

Joseph Cole thanks man! Good luck!

[@LetsGoOutdoors]

Hey guys another great video! Really liked the opening segment good mix of B-roll and stand-up. Mike, I think you took the winning shot with that B&W ! Although I'm also partial to wildlife so well done Chris with the bug tracks!

[@PereaPhotography]

Let's Go Outdoors haha thank you Michael!

[@chris_perea]

Let's Go Outdoors thank you michael!! the bug was a pretty amazing sight, you don't see a lot of wildlife in death valley😅thank you so much for watching!!

[@johnallibon2792]

Great shots and wind blown patterns in the sand guys. Very informative as usual. Keep 'em coming. Regard, J A.

[@PereaPhotography]

John Allibon thank you so much John!

[@alanhumbard8298]

Nice video guys. I will definitely try long lens next time I’m around dunes. The monochrome photo was my favorite...great composition and shadows.

[@PereaPhotography]

Alan Humbard thank you so much Alan and good luck!

[@MelissaPortales]

Great photos! I was there in December and photographing dunes isn’t easy :)

[@PereaPhotography]

Melissa Portales thank you!!! It definitely isn’t but it’s a great subject to really learn creativity. Thanks for watching!

[@nrlondon7959]

Great video and very timely. I am going out to Alstrom Point next week and I want to swing by Coral Pink Sands State Park to take some photos. The one thing that is disappointing is that most of the sand dunes are open to ATVs which I find disappointing. I am also going to try Horseshoe Bend and the Vermilion Cliffs area. That is probably way more than I can handle in a week. Have you been out to the "Singing" dunes in the north part of the park? I understand it has to be hot and windy to hear them but it would make a great video. Heat and me are not friends. Again, thank you for the timely video.

[@PereaPhotography]

nrlondon7959 yeah we went to the pink dunes last year. Tire tracks everywhere. And yes the Eureka dunes! We were there for a few hours but didn’t take any photos. The conditions weren’t optimal to hear it but I’d love to at some point.

[@nrlondon7959]

@@PereaPhotography Good to hear from you.

[@philipculbertson55]

I really liked the monochrome shot near the end. Something about deserts, to me, seem to look really nice in black and white. Probably from watching too many westerns from the late 1950s. We didn't get color until the 1960s.

[@PereaPhotography]

Philip Culbertson thank you Philip. I really love the sand dunes in black and white and white is well. Definitely a great place for that! Cheers, Mike

[@GregSheard]

Great vid guys ❤️ 1 week til I'm there 😁

[@PereaPhotography]

Sheard Photography you’re going to love it!

[@jerrykalmus9581]

Good tips and beautiful pictures. Chris, are you sure those weren’t scorpion tracks?

[@PereaPhotography]

Jerry Kalmus thanks Jerry! I guess they could’ve been that too!!! The mystery remains... haha

[@chris_perea]

Jerry Kalmus yes, could be too!! i think i have to look up footprint patterns for different animals😅i know fox, puma, coyote, badger and dog but this is a new one😂

[@DavidSenteno]

I don't always take pictures of bug tracks... But when I do it's of centipede bug tracks. 🐛Sorry Chris I think Mike was right. As always thanks for sharing🥂

[@PereaPhotography]

David Senteno 😂😂

[@chris_perea]

David Senteno pffft!!!!! 😤😂

[@DavidSenteno]

Chris Perea 😁

[@photog1529]

If you haven't been to White Sands yet, you may want to consider it. The contrast between the stark white dunes and shadows is unreal.

[@PereaPhotography]

Photog 1 oh yes it’s one of our favorite places!!!

[@roberthergenrather5342]

You guys have found your groove. Sharing your thought process of the , 'how & why' to use the long lens. Good tips you two. You both had some great photos on this one. And sorry Mikey, she's still better looking than you! Haha. You've got some great momentum going with your vlogs, keep it!

[@chris_perea]

Robert Hergenrather thanks robert, much appreciated! i personally think the bug was the best looking thing in the video😅

[@roberthergenrather5342]

@@chris_perea Well next to you Chris, next to you. But it was really cool, very creative.

[@BS2Dos]

👍👍

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Judging by the tracks on the sand, that bug was either lost or no direction in life. hahaha

[@PereaPhotography]

Enrique haha maybe he had a bit too much to drink? 😂

[@foveonyc]

Loved it! Many photographers ignore the vertical format. I understand that it is harder to do. I really liked these very square photos. I, in turn, when shooting sand almost always translated into sepia. People like this shade and its options are very wide! Maybe you will try it! A little color in the series on the border with black and white photography in my opinion has some magic! Thank you for the video! As always positive !!!
