Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Great shot. Inspires me. -dz

Purely incredible Jim. Enough said.

Awesome job capturing that beautiful light! I love the format and perspective the tilt-shift gives the image. Truly one of the great Death Valley mornings. You are very welcome for the clouds! ;^)

When it comes to shooting iconic Zabriskie scenes I think that, in terms of conditions, it is all about two things: light and sky. Having shot the subject a number of times, I now only go to Zabriskie if I think that something special will happen in the sky, and that usually means clouds... though it could me some sort of delicate atmospheric haze as well. But when such conditions do set up, the scene is truly sublime.

And how thoughtful of THAT cloud to center that lower "point" right over the center of your composition! Some people have all the luck!

That is beautiful Jim, lover the colors!

Lovely photo - I like the way you included the clouds and the color, It really shows the scale of the landscape at Zabriskie point

Jim, Truly a surreal scene with gorgeous color. Can't beat it!
