Fun in the sand

Some friends and in went drive up to Stockton beach sand dunes for a bit of saturday afternoon fun. Bit of 4x4 dune driving and some sandboarding is a great way to pass the afternoon away.

Here is a picture of a friends cruiser after hitting a bump a bit steeper than he thought. He meant to get some air but not take half the dune with him.

or Does it work better with a tighter crop and slight change of angle

Your thoughts

I think the larger crop works better but could do with a bit of a contrast or curves adjustment. It just feels a bit flat.

Not really, shifted the bullbar back a bit and bent the number plate. Apparently it is the end of it being a pampered fourwheel drive

Thanks for the comment Killakoala, still learning how to drive photoshop but will give it a go

For some reason they look much brighter in photoshop than they do when i save it as a jpeg

That looks so much better. There is much more definition in the sand.

Nice shot, showcases the action nicely. Did much the same thing when I took mine there the first time. That as over three years ago and still find sand working it's way out from behind the dash and other places!
