This week's Photog Adventures Listeners Facebook Group Moment of Envy is all about Steven J Magner​'s fantastic capture from his last-minute adventure out to Death Valley National Park last week. Check out how Steve handles his brief opportunity there by taking advantage of the scene with everything he had. Using himself as a subject he built a well-balanced composition around him and his light as he uses the s-curve of the sand dune to his advantage, creates interest with textures and patterns and even polishes his image off with light trails that continue the theme of movement throughout the image!

Well done, Steven! This image was immediately on my radar as I saw it and felt envy the moment it crossed my facebook feed! :D
