This week's Photog Adventures Listeners Facebook Group Moment of Envy is all about Rudy Serrano's amazing image from the California Coastline at the Guadalupe Sand Dunes Preserve area just north of Santa Barbara. The shot shows how simplicity is still amazingly beautiful when you nail focus, color and balance.

Learn from Rudy with how he accents the subjects he chooses, lines them up with the sun and takes advantage of large wispy textures in the sand leading up to the dunes. We were very impressed with how his shot turned out after our recent difficulty trying to light a sand dune at night and nail a Milky Way shot. Spoiler alert: we didn't....not like Rudy. This guy had some amazing images recently shared and it was hard to pick our favorite but this one stood out to Brendon and we loved talking about it! :D

If you want to have a chance to make us envious of your image, go to Facebook and search out Photog Adventures Listeners and you can join our private group where we encourage people to share their photos and adventures behind the photos with hope that everyone will get inspired to get out there and have a Photog Adventure of their own! :D
