Yeah totally... we don't really have dunes like that here, not that I've seen yet anyway. I'd just like to have a play and was wondering what else you've had success with. : )
Thanks for the tips!

Oh - water is another good one for textures! :)
Really... okay... I'll keep that in mind. We're going away soon to a very isolated area. It's nice and dark out there, not a lot of open space where we'll be staying though, I've been thinking maybe we could go for a drive at night... just not sure about the wildlife out there though! But I'm going to have a bit of a play, either way. : )
I hope you have fun! Get some nice long exposures of the stars!
Well... I'm going to have a try. I've never done that before and I have no idea how to do it. I'm going to try and find some info before we leave. I don't usually take the tripod camping but I will this time! : )
A tripod and a long exposure (15-30 seconds) with a wide aperture will get you started! :)
That's all? That's long enough! Do you need to heavily edit your milky way photos to reveal all the stars? I'm out of data atm, it's meant to roll over tonight (I hope!). Once I get some decent speeds back I'll check out some videos online.
That's a VERY general exposure time, but it's a start. You usually do need a bit of work to bring out detail in the Milky Way (assuming you're in an area that's dark enough to see it at all, and that the moon is close to new) but photographing the stars is (unfortunately) one of the things where the type of camera you have and the lens plays a huge role.
