What camera do you use? rangutan - Mar, 24 2006 04:03pm Camera? Never owned a SLR, sometimes borrowed one. From 1993 to current most like this are taken with a simple very portable 35mm $100 Olympus "nu" camera & the prints scanned! Now some pics digital.. marianne - Mar, 25 2006 05:03am Rangutan, SLR is so much nicer to use. It is also more precise. I use both a simple Olympus and Canon EOS, both digital. Canon's results are far better. davidx - Mar, 25 2006 10:03am Rudi, I think this is one of your very best. it makes me want to run for shelter before the storm! frenchfrog - Mar, 25 2006 01:03pm Well, what else to say!, The others beat me to it!

Anyone hoping that his/her picture be in the top 20 forever will be disappointed. There will be better stuff comming in as more people go digital. joe_schmidt - Apr, 01 2007 03:04pm This one would be part of my list of perfect fotos. hieronyma - Apr, 02 2007 04:04am I would like to be there and to enjoy the silence before the storm. Hieronyma dantrenner - Jul, 04 2007 03:07am Tremendous lighting and great sky. Lucky day for you. maehof - Aug, 20 2007 12:08pm ,,harshness of desert is even stronger shown by this amazing shadows, couple palm trees are d best contrast to the burnout sand and rocks, this almost cruel environment is magnified by 'angry' clouds trekkerman - Nov, 25 2007 12:11pm nice pic, good scenery, ty for sharing. rachman - Dec, 30 2007 02:12am Rudi, I truly appreciate all the comments and suggestions you wrote on my pictures page. Your photographs are all very impressive! I love this particular picture - great shot! stemcell - Dec, 30 2007 05:12am I often want to see a figure in landscapes to provide a sense of scale, but on reflection this is after all a desert...its supposed to be desolate! It is a splendid photo and it made me consider that due to the way the rocks are weathered, a camel might be able to use its prominent hump as camouflage! Is this telling us something about evolution? rangutan - Dec, 30 2007 01:12pm Stemcell, for a scale see this but note I am 190 and was 120kg: http://rangutan.43people.com/gallery/image/168305
