    Howdy Azzaro,

    Yikes, that looks like a bad one, hope you, the Hound, and the Horses are OK.

    Interesting shot, sure shows the heavy winds and dust blowing, you're getting really good at this you know:D:D:D
    Take care,

    Hey Azzaro,

    Is this one of those desert 70+ mph wind storms?
    I hope you were shooting that from inside your house.

    I rode through one of those on my Goldwing two years ago when heading to California. Wind was so strong that on the highway, while trying to stay ON the road, I scrapped a peg due to leaning so far just to stay on the road. Scared the bagebbers out of me eek7.gif

    Aside from the possible devastation this is a cool shot. thumb.gifHow did you do that? Is it all in camera or PP? Was this taken last week? We had some of that stuff... bent a tree and blew everything not tied down in N Phx.

    WOW!!! As I look at that photo, I'm waiting for the loader to tip over! Was this shot through a window or from a porch? I don't think you'd risk your equipment to be out in the middle of it.

    I shot it through the window, 10 minutes later you could not see the tractor or tree..... Thanks for looking and commenting..... azzaro

    Hi Azzaro--great shot! It reminds me of Dorothea Lange's Dust Bowl photos in the '30s.

    Mr. Quiet..... I'm a very basic guy. I have a Nikon D40x a 55x200 Nikon lens and a camera bag. The camera was set on program and the pic. was taken through the window. The picture was shot in raw and converted to a jpeg. I did very little pp....... I did not make the picture, just recorded what was going on.......... azzaro

    Thanks for commenting.....

    Good stuff Azzaro! I can't take my eyes off the image. So much interest. My favorite part of this image is the tree....the motion blur is so nice. And the sand gives this image a very grainy, film look.

    I'm starting to wonder now what this might look like in B/W?!!

    Thanks for sharing...well done!clap.gif
