I am in Lencois Maranhenses National Park in Brazil right now, researching to offer a photo tour to this extremely unique and beautiful place. I took this shot in the morning from my drone. The end of May to July is the peak season for water in the park, and the contrast between the aqua marine color of the water and the seemingly endless contours of the dunes is stunning. It was pretty windy and I was concerned that my DJI Air 3S might have a hard time, but even at 400 feet it did very well. Given the strength of the wind, though, I brought the drone back with 30% battery life remaining ... just in case. This picture represents my first flight here; there will be a lot more and I'm sure I'll find better compositions than this one. My settings were 1/1250, f/1.8m and 200 ISO, and I used the equivalent of a 24mm wide angle lens.

Barbara Vickers - Wow, that is dunes? At first sight I thought it was ice and snow. Must be an incredible place. I'm off to google maps to locate it. Thanks Jim for another wonderful photo.
