Nice concept, i like the detail you've captured on the granularity of the sand. I would have liked to see this shot using a graduated ND filter to get the correct exposure for the sky. Its one of the biggest problems for landscape photographers to get correct exposure for your subjects in the foreground as well as the sky. Good concept though, just need to spend a bit on your equipment for better shots ;)
YES!!! I totally agree!!!! And can't wait to invest when I get a chance, thanks much for input... its true in some place the over exposure really takes away from quality... there is even a smokey look in some places :(
HA! The sand looks like it's smudged. ;D
another thing you can do (this only really applies to portrait shots or shots where your subject is quite close to the camera) is use an external flash. If you increase your shutter speed to correctly expose the sky, you can alternatively set the external flash to the correct exposure for the foreground. I've done a few shoots that way and the images turn out really nicely... it sort of blows the foreground subject out of the scene, but the balance exposures means you dont lose any detail :)
If you are more interested in using off camera flash, you should check out strobist... its a very informative blog detailing the use of flash, it's taught me a lot :D
