I've been slowly adding my Death Valley pictures to Flickr over the week. I had three days in the park (broken up over 5 days) and I was blown away by the beauty! It's an amazing place, you can see for miles across the valley floor and the mountain ranges are as unique as an alien world.
The first day was nice ... 70's ... nice cloud cover to accent photos. We stopped by Zabriskie Point and I filled the camera full of photo's. I took wide angle, standard, telephoto ... everything but macro shots. The clouds were amazing, perfect accents to the landscape. The lighting could have been better (it was around 3:30pm or so), but I'll take what I can get
I took this photo back in May on a short sunset hike. I wanted to shoot the oak trees in a field next to Folsom, CA. When I pulled this photo up in Aperature, I really felt like it captured the feeling of fatherhood.
My brother in law, Jason, was holding his 3 year old daughter while we were hiking in the field. (more...)
