Light and Shadow
Afternoon light accentuates the undulating contours of one of the many gullies at Zabriskie Point.
Dante's At End Of Day
We got up to Dante's View a little later than we planned, but there was still some gorgeous light along the horizon. The bright sky served to underscore how desolate the landscape looked.
Zabriskie Morning
ot to Zabriskie Point before sunrise, and then watched the place fill up with photographers! Not any good clouds and a difficult dynamic range made this a tough subject. I took lots of shots but this one right before the sun hits Manly Beacon is my favorite.
Mesquite Dunes Close-Up
After an exhausting walk out to the dunes to catch sunrise, the clouds blocked the direct sun. There was still some very subtle coloring coming form the sky that reflected on the dunes as the sun struggled to break through.
Father Crowley Point
We reached the Father Crowley Point Overlook coming back into the park form the Alabama Hills just as the sun was setting. I took a series of bracketed shots to produce this HDR panorama of the view. The wind was very strong and shooting handheld it was hard to hold still while clicking the shutter!
