Hi all,
I hope this isn't considered off topic and I come seeking
photographic advice. This June 18th, I'll be going to Death Valley,
California, for 8 days. The question I have concerns how I should
adapt my shooting to the harsh and contrasty light in the desert.
Bogdan, other than it being hotter than the proverbial in June, DV is
an unusual place to photograph. I was there in late Feb. several
years ago and was surprised at the unusually low contrast even in mid
day - 2-3 or so stops between highlights and shadows! Then again you
have two giant reflectors on the East and West sides of the valley.
Also the light was quite warm. Kron mentioned a bunch of locations -
and they are far apart!- one other would be Zabriskey point.
