Death Valley

[Dustin Gent]

I need to go back here this winter, so i can shoot not just during early morning and sunset. Had more fun shooting the sand dunes that i had anticipated!

I like this dune shot - clean lines, nice light, and no footprints.

Death Valley's version of winter is like early summer everywhere else
I visited there in early February one year and went out to shoot Badwater by moonlight in the dark. At 80F.

The wind ripples in the second dune are super sharp (if you can't see them you need a new monitor) and the curve of the furthest dune helps bind the dunes and the distant mountains together.
Going back? You'd be hard pressed to do better than this!

thanks guys! This was my first trip in a long time, and really the first trip using the Contax 80-200, so still getting used to using telephoto lenses for landscapes. This was a one shot deal, so I know I didn't get all of anything in focus

Plus i would like to shoot these at sunset.

LOL, Alan, that's called Southern California weather! Why do you think so many of us like it here? It's our weather.

This is really great Dustin! I like the lines and curves of the sand dunes. They certainly can be fun to shoot, and it's great that you want to go back. It's always great to have places that call to us.

Very nice dunes!

Hi Dustin, Love the Rich Warm look and feel the Sand Dunes give the Viewer. The Wind's work on them
really adds a lot of texture and patterns. Very Nicely Done !!!

Take Care,

Craig

Gorgeous capture Dustin.

Nicely done. Love the light and the clean dunes.

The thing with later in the day is dealing with all the foot steps unless there is some wind during the day cleaning it up for you.
