p.1 #1 · Death Valley (III) - Bad Water & Everyone's favorite PT

Hello All,

A few more from my DEVA trip.

1. Everyone's favorite PT.

Zabriske's Point BW by Jason Chong's Photography, on Flickr

I must admit, I've never actually hiked down to that ridge and stand like "birds on a wire" next to everyone. I should one of these days but never seem to make it down there.

2. Bad Water

I played around with the dodge to bring out some of the light streaks. Do you guys think it's too much?

C&C Welcome,

Jason

Both of these are very nice.

I was there last month and didn't get any clouds.

They are both great photos. I like the way you framed the sun and processed the texture in the mountains.
About the question about the light streaks, I would lower the effect a little but like the way it looks.
You got some great DV shots! Congrats!

I am really liking that second one. I like the rays. In fact, I'd love to see them even more dramatic. Not sure if you can and keep the the noise at bay.

Hey Jason,

Man, super sweet shots. I really like your Badwater shot, the streaks from the sun look perfect to me.

Two wonderful images, Jason. Wonderful work on the processing. I like the streaks 'as is'.

Cheers,

IMO, the crepuscular rays are about perfect. Not everything needs the CAPS LOCK! treatment.
