The Race Track: Death Valley

[Esoterra]

To sum it up... COLD, WINDY, and WORTH IT!

Good stuff Chris. I like the first two the most since they're different than the usual shots from this place. Are you lighting the ground with something in the 2nd one?

When I was there at the beginning of the year, I didn't get a chance to go out there. Probably would have been a bust anyway since it had been raining. Next time.

Yup, the second is awesome. Couldn't you get a rock somewhere in there :confused:.

Loving picture 1 and 2, great work!

Yes 1 & 2 for me too they're exceptional. What a fantastic place.

Thanks Wengler! The ground was lit by a little hand held flash light. I changed the WB to shade to warm the light source, but it turned my sky a little orange. I am too lazy to selectively edit the sky, and I kind of like the look.

It is such a different experience being out there in the pitch black of night, compared to the day when you can see where all the rocks are. I swear, I spent an hour traversing back and forth across the Race Track trying to find ANY rock, but it was really hard. I should have marked the coordinates on a GPS during the day so I would have known where to go back to at night.
