I hiked deep into the dunes and eventually found the foreground I had imagined for this shot. As I set up my gear, the red of the sunset faded into the blue twilight. Once everything was assembled, I looked up and there hung a shining sliver of a crescent moon outlining its dark but visible face. After a long moment of appreciation, I got busy shooting.
