“Canyon Narrows Light” — Soft, filtered light illuminates the walls of a Death Valley slot canyon.
Desert canyon light is remarkable. A canyon like this one is a huge contrast with the world outside — the intense, harsh desert light gives way to soft, gentle light and shade. The temperature drops. The color of the ight changes, too. Deep in the canyon it often shifts to ward blue, especially when the canyon walls are black or gray. There are also changes and contrasts where different softs of light come together — as in this photograph where the deeply shaded blue tones contrast with the warmer tones of the higher walls…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/04/02/canyon-narrows-light/
“Roadrunner” — A greater roadrunner, Death Valley National Park.
After more than two-and-a-half decades of visiting Death Valley National Park, you would think that I’d have see quite a few of these birds. But, no, this is the first time I have encountered a roadrunner in the park. Actually, there were two. I arrived at my campsite and was getting my gear out when a couple of them showed up to investigate my stuff…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/04/01/roadrunner/

The ultimate trip in America isn't a city, nor a beach, nor even a mountain; no, it's the clear shimmering window into eternity that is Badwater Basin at night, set in the sublime landscape of Death Valley, the "True Sky".

“Badlands, In Shadow” — Badlands formations in early morning shadows, Death Valley.
This is another is a series of photographs I made one morning at Zabriskie Point during my late February visit to Death Valley National Park. Previously I mentioned that I rarely photograph at this spot any more — after a couple of decades it takes some pretty special conditions to persuade me to join the crowd there. I stopped when pre-dawn clouds suggested the potential for a very colorful sunrise. Alas, that did not happen, but I did get some interesting light before the direct sunlight came to the formations at Zabriskie…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/26/badlands-in-shadow/
"To serve an unintelligent man is like crying in the wilderness, massaging the body of a dead man, painting water lilies on dry land, whispering in the ear of the deaf." (Panchatantra)
“Fractal Landscape” — A Death Valley landscape of layers of eroded ridges.
This view has intrigued me for years. At one popular Death Valley National Park location, one comes upon it quickly and often briefly. Because it is the coda of visits to this area that has many other attractions, it is easy to overlook it. It is harder to photograph than it seems that it should be — there are some compositional challenges, and unless the light is right the scene can have very low contrast and tricky colors…https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/24/fractal-landscape/

“Sand Dune Abstract” — Sand dune patterns in evening light, Death Valley.
I first photographed this specific subject in Death Valley well over a decade ago, and perhaps closer to two decades. I “discovered” it by accident while driving back from visiting an entirely different feature. I had stopped in this location to photograph other things, and as I scanned the landscape I noticed this section of almost pure sand dunes. I went here again this year at the end of February when the light on my intended subject died early, and I thought I might be able to work with the soft light in this spot…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/16/sand-dune-abstract/

“Gulllies and Strata, Morning Light” — Highly eroded gullies and strata, Death Valley National Park.
Some geological formations in Death Valley National Park are simply otherworldly. The sparse vegetation lays these features bare — they are more visible than in places covered by forests and other vegetation. The landscape has been uplifted, split, warped, and eroded in remarkable ways. Here tilted strata emerge in deeply eroded land, and morning shadows add more contrast…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/13/gulllies-and-strata-morning-light/
