Rhyolite Jan. 2012

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm *or* Nikon D100, Sigma 15-30mm

As mentioned previously, my approach was to incorporate the ghost town ruins into the surrounding landscape rather just documenting the ruins themselves. I would love some comments on this set, including how you liked them, which ones worked particularly well, and which ones didn't. Dan, I would also love to see a few more from your Rhyolite session.

We made a side trip to the ghost town, Rhyolite (more photos of it coming soon). Here our car is parked on the road out of town, looking toward Death Valley.

On our last morning at Death Valley, right outside our hotel room, this raven obligingly posed for a portrait :).

Badwater and Me

Nikon D100, Sigma 15-30mm

I'm standing by the only natural water for miles and miles in Death Valley, and it's undrinkable. It's a spring-fed pool that is right on the edge of the salt flats of Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America (282 ft. below sea level).

Looking east from Dante's View, Death Valley, it was close to sunset.

There should have been more snow in the surrounding mountains, but is has been a dry winter.
