You know how there are places that you always hear about and know about but just never seem to get around to going? Whether it's the timing, the weather, or whatever reason... Well, I can officially take Death Valley off that list! Joe, Jim and I made a quick trip out there this past weekend to do some camping, grilling, chilling and some serious photography time! We shot as soon as we got there on Friday evening, then first thing Saturday morning and then again late Saturday evening. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend...
Our campsite at Furnace Creek Campgrounds
Badwater Salt Flats - We got REALLY lucky here b/c we only got about 20 minutes of beautiful colors from the sunset. Prior to that it was completely overcast and just gray skies, but we were hopeful and patient...and it paid off!
Zabriskie Point
Tucki Mountain - This shot was taken at 8:30pm! It is actually moonlight that is lighting up the dunes, creating the shadows on the sand and the mountain. If you look closely, there are actually stars in the sky.
