Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan
The warm unmoving desert air was stifling, a day riding these four legged beasts felt like riding an oven with square wheels. Never the less I enjoyed it! Spending the day wandering across the desert free of the sound of any vehicles, journeying our way to a place where there is shade and water before the heat of the high noon sun arrives. It was actually slightly overcast, the thin clouds above acting like a giant blanket keeping all the heat of the day in, instead of letting it escape into space.
Photographic Details: These camels had a lot of attitude but of course by now we were used to each other. This guy was laying down and in the clean soft sand it was easy enough and really comfortable to lay down as well. I wanted to get a unique perspective, this is a classic example of a photographer either getting as low or high as possible but not at eye level. Because of his incessant chewing of cud his jaw looked unusually blurred, I had to use a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second to freeze that motion.

in waiting
Great perspective and color – you can just feel the heat through the screen!
awsome boss
Very nice shot! Love the perspective and tone.
+Beatrice Murch I'm glad the look translates well to how it actually felt, thank you! That's one of the core aspects of photography for me, getting the photo to look like how it feels to be there.
The photo is wonderful, just like living in a desert. Feel the heat to the toes, the sun's rays burn the skin, even with all this is nice to see nature so strange.
Amazed how a desert can be some vegetation.
I love the desert because I live in it.
There is a surprising amount of life here! I'll highlight some more in my coming posts. Life always finds a way!
+Kyle Marquardt As here in Mulege, find the middle of the desert an oasis with palm trees.
It's relaxing to be in the middle of nowhere, only to hear the whistling of birds and a few quail.
Awesome image and great perspective!!! Well done, Kyle!! Love it!!
incredible perspective,inspirative,and fascinating deep artful sensibility
Then do they not look at the camels – how they are created?
And at the sky – how it is raised?
And at the mountains – how they are erected?
And at the earth – how it is spread out?
