Death Valley trip report and photos
I went to Death Valley a little more than a week ago, during the period it was raining in the Bay Area and in southern California. The first three days were grey and overcast with occasional drizzle, no good light at all. Then the weather changed to partly cloudy and I was able to catch some good light in Golden Canyon at sunset. Both photos are from there.

Canon 5d Mark ii, Canon 24-70 L lens

Nice sky and light. Nice to see perseverance pays off with some great conditions.

I might tone down the highlights a bit in the first one?

Nice sky Tony. Love the warm tones in the second shot especially. Good time to visit, wouldn't want to live there. . .

Nice, Tony. I agree with Harley about toning down the hights a bit. The skies look great.
