A beautiful national park 3 hours drive from Adelaide. It offers many miles of untouched sand dunes, bordered by salt pans on one side, and wild beach on the other. Made this image of Dad and our hound on the beach:

 

Single flash with diffuser cap to camera left running +3EV TTL and dropped the camera down 2.7EV. Nice and simple, a great recipe for success.

Stefanie, our lovely German exchange was dressed as the perfect model for this particular location. Simple striking colors would stand out well against the blue sky/water and yellow sand. I somehow convinced her to throw herself off some sand dunes repeatidly, whilst I, the photographer got as close as possible to being trampled by her landing.

After seeing how well this simple concept worked. I decided to go bigger and better by suggesting we repeat the process with some 40m sand dunes. Got a killer of Dad leaping from the top:

Stayed for sunset, unfortunately none of the panos that I shot turned out, photoshop is freaking out with anything over 6000 pixels on the long side. Got a nice daytime shot of the moon though:

Quick naturally lit portrait at sunset, cool atmosphere on this shot, never mind the noise and the missed focus, I love the atmosphere on it:
