Early AM, its dramatic arabesques in the sky and the mysterious atmosphere it produces is my perferred of the lot, however the other two follow closely. Exciting work !

Thanks, Barry, Zeph,John, Santiago, Ute and AJ.
I appreciate your comments, glad you liked them.

I'm still working on the shots from that location and found
a couple more I liked. It was a good day on the salt flats.

Beautiful shots! # 2 is my fav as I find the foreground in the others too bright vs. the sky.

Stunning, what skies. I am so envious, I didnt see a cloud in 3 days at the valley.

I really love number 1. I like the clouds in two but something in number one really speaks to me. Nice job!

Hi Bill,

This is an outstanding series. I like all of them, particularly the third which has excellent foreground and light/cloud on the mountains. Well done indeed.

Thanks, Kaj, Mike, Loco, Anil, Nick, Kevin, David, Lars,
Peter and Kayar. Again I appreciate your comments.

I think this location is one of my new favorites. The neat thing about it
is its not to hard to find a pleasing foreground composition in almost
any direction you point the camera. How many times have you worked
out a foreground composition and waited for the light, cloud patterns, and sky
color only to find it develop "over there" in a place that doesn't quite work
with your foreground composition. That's not a problem here.

Thanks Again,
Bill

Great to see such lovely cloud formations in death valley. Provides a lot more drama..
I never had a chance to get the salt flat shots. Where is the best place to go..

Thanks Jason and Jane.

Jane these were all taken at BadWater. You have to walk out a ways onto the
salt flats beyond where most people stop, in order to get to undisturbed salt formations.
I talked with a park ranger before doing so and they said it wasn't a problem.

Good luck on your trip and hope you have cloudy skies.

To me, the "signature" first image is alive with a sort of subtle...yet active...color. A beautiful decision to put it in portrait mode, Bill.

Really fine work, and that first image especially makes me want to stand there. A true gem.

Thanks Larry,

I haven't decided which I like best yet. For me it is between #1 and #3
