Zabriskie at dawn

[vieri]

Despite their fame, their relatively easy access and the grand vistas you can see from there (if that is what you are looking for), Zabriskie Point and Manley Beacon offer some of the most intimate views of Death Valley; I love Zabriskie and photographed it in many different lights, but I think that the pre-dawn, pastel light suits this side of Zabriskie's character best.

With the D800E and the 50mm f/1.4 AF-S. Thanks for viewing! Best,

That is a beautiful image.

I had never heard pf Zabriskie Point until I saw this thread yesterday, and today I come across a beautiful stitched panorama from Nasim Mansurov at Photography Life.

Thank you very much everyone for your comments, all very much appreciated! I'll be in DV again at the end of January (less than two weeks, I can't wait!), but this time with a Pentax 645, so I am afraid I'll not be able to post here if I'll get anything good out of this trip...
