Just got back from a nice long trip to Death Valley. I got a lot of nice shots but I really like these two in particular.

That second shot is intense. Nice.

Very nice shots. I might be tempted by a B&W conversion on the first one.
I must get there someday! Thanks for sharing.

Second one gets my vote.

Very nice.

Jeff G · Feb 20, 2019

Nice shots, I too would be curious to see a B&W conversion on the first shot.

RickyMidnight · Feb 20, 2019

nice!

K9Kirk · Feb 20, 2019

Awesome pics! Any info on what you used/settings on those two pics?

I love the 2nd one. Added in the next place to visit!

Nice work, agree with trying and bnw on the first shot. Well done

Sent from my mobile device because I’m either outside or too lazy to get my MacBook..

I gave it a try but low res file is hard to edit:

Thanks for the kind words! I don't know how to upload the raw file but I'd be glad to if anybody wants to tell me how so they can play around with it. I don't do much B&W.

Yeah I figured the second one would be the star of the show. It's probably the best shot of the whole trip! Thanks for the kind words.

I use a Panasonic FZ300. They were both in P mode, zoomed a little, with not much fussing with settings. -1.33 EV is all there is The first is f2.8 and the second is f3.2. They were both quick snaps because I was driving looked in my mirror and saw the second one, pulled over, jumped out and took the orange one first then turned and framed up the other one and shot. The first one took some work to get it like that from the raw. The second one is pretty much out of the camera. Thanks!
