#1 and #4 are favorites for me. Nicely done images all around. A couple of those (maybe all) must be Dante's Peak.

Absolutely a jaw dropper! beautiful images. They are all really good but I would say that number two would be my favorite if you could correct the burnt highlights.

Wow! You lucked out with unusual conditions, captured them perfectly, then processed into true art. Some of the most interesting DV images I've seen. Rays from Dante's is great, but S really hit me. I hope you print some of these.

The first 3 are from Dante's View. The second one is from the valley floor north of Badwater and the last is from Badwater down below.

Thanks!
I wonder if it's getting clipped off a little in the web jpg. Or maybe I need to back down the highlights a bit to make sure they end up more in zone VIII.

Thank you! I plan to print them once I acquire a new printer

Kurt,
These are really neat. I might be tempted to crop the top of #1 down to just over the cloud break line .
#2 is my favorite of your group. Nice job with all of them !

Dean

wonderful set - certainly more dramatic than the usual Death Valley photographic fare.

Absolutely loving the tonality on all of these, Kurt. That 1st one belongs in the AA gallery in Yosemite Valley...

I'm unable to edit the original post, but revisiting this you are correct, it is better with the highlights pulled down a bit. Thank you.

This is a killer set of images Kurt! The depth you captured with the light is very well suited for B&W. All are very strong images, but that first one really shows how grand the scale is in DV.
