Mesquite Sand Dunes, Death Valley NP

Canon 650, Canon Lens 35-105, Bogen Tripod, Fuji Velvia 50, polarizer, aperture approximately F19, shutterspeed unrecorded

In 1994 I made my first winter trip to the dunes of Death Valley.
I have gone back to the park often and always return to the dunes.

Your comments are welcome.

Robert, you have captured the DVNP look here very well. I like the fact that you allowed at least a small amount of the mountain range peaks to be seen on the horizon too. I think if that had been interrupted along the way behind the dunes I'm not sure it would have the same impact as this overall. Great to see an older Velvia shot holding up this long also, unless this was of course a long time scanned digital file from that era.

Thanks, Paul. It was scanned about two years ago.

I like the way the sun reflects of that middle ground. It really pulls my eye into the image between that deep blue sky and the darker fg patterns. I'm sure the details in that exposed playa would be wonderful to view in a large print too. Nice work!

That's some good light on those foreground ripples in the sand. Sure makes me miss DV but I guess it's cool enough now to make a trip out there.
