Day 16 - Death Valley Photo

Photographer’s Note

After Las Vegas, you go through Death Valley. I take this picture from the famous place called Zabriskie Point. Weather was cloudy but landscape colors are amazing.
If i come back i will carry my tripod to shoot everywhere around and create a panorama with multiple pictures. I very liked this place.

It's a good shot of one of the classic viewpoints of Death Valley, and the soft light on the rocks is good, but I think it has too many horizontal parallel lines in it. Maybe a vertical crop?

If you do go back there, try December. There are more storms, but the cloud patterns are more interesting because of it. And I've seen some great sunrises and sunsets at that time of year!

I like the composition with those blue and yellow stripes of the landscape

Hi Pierre, how did you feel when you arrived up to the view point? I remember hot, difficult in breathing, but I believe it was due to that panorama.... stunning!

This is a very impressive view and the contrast of colors between the mountains in the background and the dunes in the foreground make it that much more special.
