Valley of Fire

A few of us headed out to the Valley of Fire to do a sunset shoot. We miscalculated the time and only had about 35 minutes to shoot. I have my travel Netbook with only Lightroom installed. The images you see are untouched except for a few adjustments in color and clarity in Lightroom.

Camera Gear

  • Tripod
  • Nikon D300
  • Nikon Lens 17 – 55  2.8
  • Remote trigger
  • Circular polarizing filter

How I got the shots:

I shot at a focal length of 17 mm on aperture priority with an F/stop ranging  from F/11 to F/22.  I kept a low angle using the remote trigger.

What would I do different:

I knelt on cactus needles AGAIN, so either long pants or knee pads. The rock in the Valley if very sharp. I also would have made sure I cleaned my lens and sensor. Ohh and of course arrived a little earlier!
