Death Valley


A different perspective on the way to Father Crowley's Point.

Marble Canyon

Marble Canyon- looks like a heart haha.

Sand dunes

Sunlight hitting the dunes

More pics of dunes

Jer on the dunes

Zabrieskie Pt

Salt pools (yes Death Valley has some water!)

I like the lines of this pic (Badwater Basin)

Salt formations at Devil's Golf Course

One of the salt crystals

Starry starry sky- 30 sec exposure

Jer taught me a cool trick- you can use a flashlight to shine some light on your object if there's no other source of light. However, the above pic is when you do it for 3 seconds.

This was for 2 seconds and it came out really nice! Again, a 30 sec exposure. The rest of our campsite has to be really dark though for it to work.

Borax wagon.

Yet another diff image of Death Valley.

All pics taken at Death Valley by me or Jer in Nov 2008. This place was a photographer's dream. Next time we go back, I want to bring a wide angle lens!

the pictures are awesome....love the lighting technique. I'll definitely give it a try once I find a flash light ;) I would definitely love to go out there and take pictures. From your photos, TONS of opportunities and ideas you can play with.

Next time you go back, you'll have a full frame so your 17-55 will cover plenty of the ultra-wide to wide range! =P
