A Salty Sunset in Death Valley

[AaronRashid]

After a day spent at the racetrack in Death Valley we stopped in bad water basin to catch the sunset on our way out of the park.

Out of probably a dozen different photos I took there I liked this composition the best.

This is an HDR of 3 images taken on a Canon 6D Mark II with a 17-40mm. Shot at 17mm for 1/10sec with one stop -/+, f/11, iso 100.

All comments welcome!

You had some really nice polygons in the salt for your visit. I like how you have presented them in this scene.

One of the best sunrises I’ve ever seen came from Badwater Basin on my first ever visit to Death Valley. I camped out in my car after watching the sunset from Mesquite Dunes.

You did the salt flat justice here. Nice job

Awesome work Aaron, you composed the polygons perfectly. Sometimes people get the polygons to feel cut off, you got it perfect I think.

Very nice job here.

Nice polygons. It's hard to find ones so well defined and without footprints.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Nicely framed. Great contrast between cool colors on the ground vs warm one in the sky.

Thank you Alan! For my first time to bad water basin, I wasn’t sure what to expect

I bet it was incredible! I’ve only been to Death Valley twice but can’t wait to go back again.
Thank you!

Thanks Jim! It took me a lot of tries to get the frame just right, so I appreciate it!

Much appreciated my friend!

Thank you! I think we got lucky. It was just off the beaten path

Thanks so much Jameel! It was nice having a little bit of blue hour light for the salt with a nice warm sunrise

The quality of the polygons in the salt really bring this up a level. Nice find! The sunset light sure doesn't hurt either.
