A Photographer’s Guide to the US
The most unique shots in America and where to get them
Kelso San Dunes, Mojave Desert
If you’re looking for a unique photography opportunity, head for the Kelso Sand
Dunes - mountainous piles of sand that seem to spring up from nowhere in the middle
of the Mojave Desert. The tallest dunes can rise up to 650 feet above the surrounding
terrain. In this setting, a well-timed hike might allow you photograph the sunset from
a phenomenal vantage point. A couple words of caution: be sure to take a flashlight in
order to get back to your car and never go alone.

If you don’t make it to the sand dunes, don't despair. The spectacular darkness of the
Mojave desert translates into spectacular nighttime photography. With almost no
ambient light (apart from the stars and the vague glow over the horizon coming from
Las Vegas), the Mojave is the perfect place to experiment with time lapse night shots
and double exposures. This is a surefire way to snap some fantastic shots.
