Greetings everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. I spent my long weekend in the Black Rock Desert, site of the annual and infamous Burning Man festival in August. Most of the year though, it looks as it does in these images - stark, beautiful, and desolate.
Here's a few of my favorites. Love to hear everyone's thoughts. It's a notoriously difficult place to accurately white balance, and I admit I took some artistic license with some of these shots in post, but I hope it is not too much for your tastes.
