Here's a few shots form my recent trip to Death Valley.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Bill


Pre-Sunset

Great dramatic set!
Really like #2!

Barry

Great series, Bill.. Love the sky in the first shot..Well done

Great set! A little heavy on the GND in #1 but the results are really interesting to me. Again, well done

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 !

santiago

Stunning work. I like them all.
Ute

Wonderful skies in all of these. Magical light.

AJ

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.

Excellent set of images, very well done.

Al

Fatastic job Bill. # 1 and #3 are very rich with mood. Now you got me chomping at the bit for my planned visit next month. Thanks for sharing.


Mike

Beautiful images Bill. I like them all

Loco

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!

Great set! I like the foreground best in #3

Kevin

These are very good Bill - great detail and exposure
Well done.
David

Great series, love them all

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.

Fantastic work. I wish, i could visit this place and stay there overnight.

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

Wow! I really enjoyed these. The dark clouds really make a bold statement! Well done

Wow,

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..
I am heading down to DV in December this year.
Best regards

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
