Death Valley National Park Trip 2007
29/12/2007So this past weekend 2 brave souls and I decided to take a trip to Death Valley NP. I was living in my tent for 4 days :P…

I was told that it was going to be FREEEEZIIIINNNG!!! When we arrived it was pretty cold, I’d say mid low 30’s. Wasn’t too bad actually, I expected it to be colder. After setting up my tent i started taking photos of the floor like a weirdo that i am by other peoples standards…and oh man! I feel in love with the textures all around the ground… Tree textures by the tent.. 

Photo taken by: Alvaro G.
After snooping around the campsite we went over to the Borax Mines pretty nice there too! Wagon in Borax Mines… 
More awesome Death Valley ground Textures…

To my surprise Death Valley receives nearly 2 inches of rain per year! 


The sky was also amazing i was able to grab snap a few photos and i stitched them together…

After all that we headed over to…

YUP! The dunes in Death valley are awesome, they seem small, but wow the feeling you get once your there is indescribable… 


There was spots in between the dunes where it was solid material like this… 
Alvaro decided to walk as far as he could so i could snap a photo and show how big this place was… He found a good spot…sat down…and i snapped the photo!…

Doesn’t look too big does it?… I took that photo at 300mm with a 1.6x crop camera…making my focal lenght 480mm!! I don’t know the exact distance but thats very very far! heres the same shot at 70mm..
