Description

The camel thorn trees at Deadvlei in the Namib Desert have in recent years become an iconic symbol of Namibia. They died around 600-700 years ago when the marsh, fed by the Tsauchab river, dried up when the climate changed and a drought led the monstrous dunes to encroach cutting off the source of water. They are now blackened from the scorching sun. I arrived early, before anyone else, to try to capture these trees, isolated from the many tourists who visit during the day. Timing of images from this location is critical as the sun rises over the dunes. I wanted to capture a wide landscape with the shadow touching the edge of the salt pan and full sunlight on the dunes. In the end though I preferred a small line of light on the salt pan and the geometry introduced by the shadow play on the left balancing the location of the trees off centre in the frame.
