Hi guys! So as you already know, because of the title of the video
I'm on my way to Death Valley National Park
Luna is not with me today, it's kind of sad
but yeah, it's a National Park so she can't really go anywhere, and it might get hot in the car
it was better to just leave her behind
I have a few spots to hit today
We were here last year, so I'm going to go to some of the same places, and hopefully some new places
and see what we can get, it's still 7am
going to be here until sunset at least, so we will see
I think it was around here where we got chased by a coyote last year
We were in the car and the coyote was really mad at us
Zabriskie Point is one of the most popular places to photograph in Death Valley
I hiked around for a little bit, but the light was pretty harsh
I think next time I'll go there on a full moon night, and try to make images of those crazy textures with light reflected by the Moon
My next stop, a first for me, was Badwater Basin
which you might know as the lowest point in North America, at some 86 meters below sea level
The scale of Death Valley is hard to grasp. I tried to capture it on this next image you are going to see.
Try to find the car in the middle of the frame
My last stop of the day was Mesquite Dunes, another popular spot
Here I was looking for those shadows that happen a couple hours before sunset
The photos from these dunes were my favorites from this day and I could feel that when I was taking them
Once again, I didn't have enough time in Death Valley
This place needs a few days, at the very least
There are still plenty of places in more remote areas that I plan to visit in the future
Death Valley is only an hour and a half from the Alabama Hills and the Sierra Nevada, so I'll definitely be coming back here. Some day.
