Death Valley, Badwater Basin

Sunrise, Badwater Basin, Death Valley

Sometimes it happens that you are in the right place at the right time....I was in death valley with a few friends a year or so ago and we were shooting a sunset from atop Dante's Peak. I can't remember what our plan was for the next morning but after looking down on the basin from Dante's the plan quickly changed. I have been to Death Valley 4-5 times now and had never seen the basin with that much water --- so the next morning at sunrise there we were mucking through the basin waiting......well worth getting up at 4AM......

This image was made using a Phase P65+ on a Mamiya 645 - 80MM Schneider Lens.....Processed in Lightroom4 and PhotoshopCS5.

This image is part of a Death Valley Series I have been working on.

 

Everglades - Chokoloskee 2

Sunrise, Chokoloskee

Yesterday I went on about my first experience in the Everglades and a friend emailed and said 'let's see the sunrise image you made that morning..you talked about this sunrise image and never posted it'...truth be told I seemed to have misplaced it at the time - and have now found it along with an image of myself walking around in the bay (afternoon image)...

It is so peaceful out in the water....no sounds except the wind.....
