Death Valley Dream

This is a new one, but is still my second favorite image of all time and already very popular with print sales. This one will always have special meaning to me because of how close I came to missing this moment. I had to make a mad dash to make it to this spot in time. I shot this handheld, and barely had time to get my camera out of my bag and change the settings to capture this moment before it was gone. I was dripping sweat from my sprint, and was breathing hard. After this shot I set up my tripod and captured many more images, but none were nearly this good, the light was very special for just one moment.

It's late now, but I'll get around to posting on all the other wonderful images in this gallery tomorrow.

Cheers
