Wow, this is the third TR from DV trips posted this weekend.

What a great resource for WTW members who can visit this area.

 

We managed a four day trip, visiting Panamint Valley, and nearby attractions.

First chapter is posted.

Hey wait a minute. You mean no sheared bolts or horrendous dust storms? You must have been bored out of your mind. Seriously. Nice report and photos. Waiting for chapter 2. Thank you!

I really like monochrome for stark geometric subjects, but I'm a sucker for the deep blue polarized sky that is reminiscent of Kodachrome II slide film.

Nice, never can have to many DV TR's!  Not breaking down must have been a nice bonus!

I love the geometric dune photos! The composition and textures are cool. Nice work.

Love it. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the story.

 

I too am a Canon shooter and hardly bring my SLR (6D) on hikes. My G15 finally gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a refurbed G5X which I'm getting to know but so far I'm pleased with it. When doing post processing I have a huge dilemma for many photos. I usually do a virtual copy in grayscale. Then it is the decision process of which to choose.

Final Chapter, delayed by storm and work commitments.

It's been quite a bit of snow.
