Lex Rudd, Mungo Dunes Sunstar (PLACES WILDERNESS 2024)

Lake Mungo is located in the Willandra Lakes area, in New South Wales. The levels of the lakes fluctuated depending on the climate. Today the lake is dry. Mungo Dunes cover a vast area. Mungo National Park is under indigenous management. An approved guide took us into the dunes before dawn. This image was captured about 5 minutes after sunrise. The sun was partially obscured by wispy clouds. The image was captured with a Nikon Z7ii camera, a Nikkor Z 20mm lense, f16, 1/60 second, ISO64 (tripod mounted)
