Got to the racetrack after shooting the sunrise over at badwater (see previous posts) and spent a good amount of time there, just wandering on the playa. I couldn't really get into the groove during the afternoon so I just walked around looking at each and every rock...for about 4 hours. i should've just taken a nap. Come sunset time the wind picked up, it got really cold and windy...and i was the only one left at the playa...your mind plays tricks on you when you've heard stories about the place ...especially when you hear voices..but not see where they are coming from. I kept looking over my shoulder every few minutes, scoping the area to see if anyone else is there...there were no other vehicles parked that I could see ..so this somewhat added to the lets get out of here.
Shot the sunset, from not as many angles as I would've liked to. I will go back there and just focus on this area next time, little better prepared also.

Love the "in your face" aspect of the Racetrack shot, you got it down with that one.
I like the second because to me, sitting and watching the geology is my kind of thing....

Print it - big too.
I love the detail of the POV in this one and the exposure is perfect. Glad to hear you waited until the Voices told you it was time to shoot - they were right

Is that lens distortion in the lower corners? It makes it look like the land is curving down into the corners.

Hey Sunny,
That voice... it was me... wondering why you left me behind....
The first one is super cool! The 2nd one? You need a new chair for Christmas!

That's great, Sunny. Reminds me of my version of the place. Sure is orange, but I like that effect. Great comp!
