Badwater Sunrise 2

Posted by Jon Cornforth on January 26, 2010 in California,Death Valley,Landscape,National Parks,Photo Tours

This is another image that I created during my recent Death Valley National Park Photo Tour.  My 3 LA based clients unfortunately missed this photo opportunity because they drove home the day before.  My remaining client & I left the Badwater parking lot in the dark an hour before sunrise.  We wore our headlamps and hiked towards the center of the salt flats.  After 40 minutes, we stumbled upon these salt patterns and set up our cameras to capture the magnificent scene.  I like the textures on the salt flats, but I love the puffy sunrise clouds over the mountains.

    What an image! Among the best I’ve seen–thanks for the work to get it, and thanks for sharing.

    I really like this one. The best parts are the natural/pristine shapes of the salt ‘cells’ and the puffy clouds above the snow peaks.
