Mud Cracks in the Mojave Desert

https://www.outdoorphotographyguide.com/article/behind-shot-mojave-desert-mud-cracks/#

This article is about photographing mud cracks in the Mojave Desert after a flood in 2015. This article interests me because I have always been fascinated by mud cracks since I was little for some reason. It is interesting that nature can cause cracks like this in the dirt.

The photographer, Sarah Marino, chose to make the photograph of the mud cracks black and white to bring out the darkness and drama of the scene she was trying to capture. She used a wide angles lens and got low to the ground to really capture the lines in the cracks. In addition, she captured the clouds at just the right angle to mirror the foreground.

Marino used a low aperture to get the background and foreground in focus. She used an ISO of 100, which is a low ISO, and an appropriate shutter speed to capture the photo with the correct exposure. I would love to be able to take some photos of large mud cracks some day.
