Brian - A lovely image.
Mine by way of a comparison was taken when it was freezing.

Nice theme, great composition with the water against the mountains and double layered sky!

Zabriskie Point at Dawn, Death Valley National Park, CA
Arca-Swiss 4x5, Provia 100F QL

Epic, I feel a pano crop of the top could look quite good...

Dunes at Sunrise, Death Valley National Park, CA
Arca-Swiss 4x5, Provia 100F QL

This light only lasts about 45 seconds or so. Then the dunes turn to a flat grayish color. The funny thing was, being that this was my first sunrise shot here, I misjudged the amount of time I had and in a panic, I rushed into setting up my camera and didn't even bother to care where the lens was pointing... I didn't want to miss that light! Turned out I had a good half an hour before the dunes lit up gold. Next time I will know better and will spend more time getting a view. And with a good GPS unit, I can even scout the area the day before and come back the next morning. Fun story though.

Wow! Those are outstanding chromes. I know that feeling to when you're rushing at the end or start of the day. Large format sometimes can't set up fast enough.

Beautiful image, and it reminds me of our own Salinas Valley. It gives me inspiration to go do something like that! Great work.

Wow, those Death Valley shots are stunning dperez. That's probably the finest image of Zabriskie Point I've ever seen.
