Amazing images! I wish they would have had the park open for another 30 minutes or so, cause I did not want to put my camera away when that sunset was just getting really good, to run back to my car so we could make it out in time.

The best phone app purchase I ever made was Backcountry Navigator. Absolutely awesome GPS map app for wilderness travel. Just pre-download satellite maps or topo maps when you're on wifi or 4G, and then go into airplane mode but leave your location settings on when you go out into the wilderness. Mark your car / campsite, make a track of your footsteps, and follow them back! It also acts as a GPS logger for geotagging your photos later, if you so desire.

living in Phoenix, I use a CPL a lot for seperating the blue skys and mountains, I'm surprised you don't use it more in your work. Only works north south, I know, but in White Sands you really could have gotten some great shots.

Unfortunately with White Sands the only real way to shoot sunrise is to do the backcountry camping. If you don't tent camp in the backcountry the earliest they will let you in is 7 am. Good luck getting a comp when the sun rises at 7.

Wow, that place is crazy! It would blow my mind :) Really love the portrait shots you got of Jodie, so cool. And wearing her red coat too against that back drop of white sands is an awesome way to use colour, as to when in a few vlogs ago, you both wore red! Love it! ! Fab images :) & the colours in the sky just after sunset with pink, purple & blues are just gorgeous! Fascinating place :)

Just gave me a new bucket list location, have been to New Mexico but didn't drive to far south of I40 as we tried to follow the old Route 66, most of 66 is lost due to I40 or reclaimed by farmland, which is sad, understand best part is between flagstaff Arizona and California, But anyway cut along story short wipes drool off face ;-) Planning new road trip / redoing old or down south so be interesting to see what you guys trip over on the way.

You need two way radio. It's handy for directing models three sand dunes away. I have a phone and a tablet with SIM. Provided that I have coverage, I think I could leave one in the car and use the other to get back. Or note my parking spot with Google maps.

Interesting pronunciation of yucca... :) BTW... your travel choice through Texas is interesting as well... maybe another time you could drive more southerly and into the Trans-Pecos Region and shoot shots in areas that numerous TV shows and commercials are made... more specifically, Alpine and Marfa Tx. area. Very exotic area... specially if you travel through Big Bend.
