San Diego Natural History Museum tour of Death Valley, April 2-5, 2009


Pressure Ridge on the Salt Flats Near Badwater

In a way this is an abstract image - there's not much context around it to tell us what we're looking at or how large what we're looking at is.

Note the horizon line - it's out of kilter, which is the give-away that I used a wide-angle lens on a zoom. This is correctable with programs like Photoshop.

Desert Five Spot

We found these beautiful wildflowers at the Visitor Center. I used the flash on my camera to light up the interior.

Standing back from them gave us a nice overview of the late spring wildflowers.

Wagon Wheels

Another example of showing more with less - I found it unnecessary to show the entire 29 Mule Team Wagon (including surrounding fences and photographers).

Remains of Borax Workers Cabin - Near Mustard Canyon

Sometimes, as we learned, showing less shows more.

Phacelia?

I could use some help with this one - what is it?

Moving in with a telephoto lens (with a +2 filter) threw the background almost completely out of focus.

Vanishing Point

At the original Stovepipe Wells, we turned back to face the dirt road leading to the highway. We knew the line of the dirt road was a good way to lead our eyes to the eroded landscape in the background.

Water! At the Original Stovepipe Wells

We poured some water through the top of the old pump - our volunteer pourer had to move quickly out of the way.
