Picture Perfect
Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia
A photo from ECC geography professor Matthew Ebiner was recently featured by the Los Angeles Times in the travel section's annual Summer Vacation Photo issue. His spectacular picture taken in Namibia was selected from more than 1,700 photographs submitted to the LA Times.
Ebiner reached this Namibian desert scene after driving more than two hours in the dark, then walking for 30 minutes to catch the dunes and acacia trees in sharp, early light. He had a digital single-lens reflex camera, but got this image with his Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
