mesquite dunes

I got up early to shoot Mesquite Dunes last month, but was too late to make it out to the larger dunes for sunrise. I also hadn't gotten out the day before to plan a spot to shoot, so had to make due with my area. At first I was disappointed by a few people on the dune in front of me, but then...

From last month in Death Valley. This is in Mesquite Dunes. I almost like these hard packed tile area better then the dunes I think. This was at Sunrise, there was no clouds so I worked the sun to my advantage. (I hope) :) All comments are welcome, Jim

Here is a Vertical composition from a week or so ago while I was playing out in Death Valley in the Mesquite Sand Dunes. This is from the Sony A6400 with the Samyang 12mm f2.0 that I set up to go vertical because the Milky Way is getting higher sooner in the sky. I was mainly shooting with the...

From a quick run last week in Death Valley. It was pushing it in terms of the Milky Way and the Moon, but I still had an hour or so of darkness to play with the Milky Way in Mesquite Dunes. Looking back on the pano, I am not totally happy now as I should have realized that the left side of the...

A magical part of Death Valley, always a treat in the early AM especially if the wind has blown the night before and erased all the photographers' footprints! These shots are from two workshops in the Valley.

I will be posting some of my favorite Mesquite Dunes images in color on the Landscape Forum but sort of like this shot in monochrome.

Here is one from a few weeks ago back at Death Valley. It was one of those peaceful, quiet and tranquil evenings. This is Mesquite Dunes. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from a few weeks ago. The winds had been howling for a day or so, which was great for erasing foot prints, but not so great for shooting. But just as I was leaving in the early morning the winds died down for about an hour or so giving just enough time to get out to the farther section...

This is from Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley. While processing this and pondering this, I ended up at a High Key look. It's a bit artsy and I am hoping it takes the Landscape to more of a Fine Art feel. All comments are welcome, this is a bit of an experiment and may not appeal to everyone. Jim...

I've taken quite a few shots of this easy access tree on the edge of Mesquite Dunes, but haven't gotten anything special until this morning after a quiet sunrise out on the dunes. Mesquite-Dunes-Tree_Pano-bw by Jim Dockery posted Feb 9, 2018 at 7:06 AM

From a pretty darn nice sunrise in Death Valley... I wanted ripples in the sand, mountains, and some nice color. Any thoughts are welcome.

While I love the big vistas, I also like to go looking into smaller detail. There is beauty and landscapes to be found there too. The Footprint, taken at Mesquite Dunes during one of my Workshops in Death Valley last January. Leica S (Typ 007), Leica Vario-Elmar-S 30-90mm and Formatt-Hitech...

Beautiful Mesquite Dunes, in Death Valley (USA), are always a great source of inspiration for me and lend themselves to long exposure abstract images perfectly. Leica SL, Voigtlander 15mm, Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters. Thanks for viewing, best regards Vieri
