Thanks for watching! What are some wild unexpected experiences you've had during a photoshoot?

That is terrific. The greatest tool in your tool box is your persistence.

I could barely breathe in that sandstorm! I still can't believe the clients were down to keep shooting. The images were well worth it though!

It's just heartwarming to see someone who has been in the game for so long pouring his heart out to make the perfect image, it's is award worthy. Very motivational Pye

this was the shot! What a great experience! I think the image is really good, but if you felt the experience, then the image is greater! superb

What I like about how Pie works is that no matter what situations he finds himself in, he always seems so relaxed and aware of how he will solve problems. Do you want a photo on the top of Everest, no problem, we do it? I guess I'll miss my flip flops. Stunning photography Mr. Hats Off.

Great video!! A real "sandstorm" of good tips from your experience. Thanks. Loved the end result. Definitly will give it a try the next time I'm caught in a windy desert.

Epic photo and crazy experience! I was thinking before you mentioned the rain cover that anything meant to keep out water would keep out sand.

You got some incredible shots. I have an tip for you. Don't rely on the weather forecast. Weather forecasting is the only job I know where they can be wrong all of the time and still have a job.

Such an epic story Pye. So good. I love shooting in inclement weather. You get the best shots. What an absolutely amazing shot and story. That's the best part of this is the story behind it. I have a few shots like that too. I can't wait until your next favourite shot happens and to hear the story behind it. Thanks for sharing all your tips Pye.

Exactly, it was very inspiring and at first o was like "Damn it's 20min long and it's already 3:00AM!" but it was so interesting, almost like am adventure that I kept me in to the end and didn't seem that long at all. I hope the customers wasn't a free shoot considering the 1200$USD damage though 😮

Hi I must admit that shoot was brilliant. I mite try it at skeggness England 😆 always windy there.

2005 I was shooting in White Sands in a 40-50 mile sand storm. Btw, anything below 4-5 feet is sand, anything above is dust. Not that it really mattered in this case, because, when I got back in the car, I detached the 16-35 and a bunch of sand fell on the floor. Fortunately, having lived out there during the Shamal winds season, I had CPS send me equipment, so I wasn't on the repair bill hook. From a shot perspective, I would have switched the couple - placing the bride on the left to match the contour of the sand dune when the groom lifted her. Otherwise, a great shot given the conditions.

An addition to the camera bag to be prepared in case you forget the rain covers which can be somewhat bulky. Large zip lock baggies, plastic grocery bags and rubber bands help out in a pinch and come in handy. You just have to remeber that you have them with you. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

As a avid off road vehicle owner that has been to Glamis many times how did you avoid the off road traffic? You must have shot on a Tuesday or Wednesday ...LOL !!!!! Well done.

Really liked the video! I have been watching a lot of your stuff on Creative Live (waiting to get through that before I make the investment for premium on SLR lounge) I have been a part time photographer since 2011, and I am getting ready to make the jump to full time. I am learning a ton from all of your content. Thank you!
