thanks for the stunning shots, fnazqa.


I just saved the original 2560 resolution of the last photo to be used as my desktop wallpaper! :D


Ohh, I truly need to save my money in order to finally buy myself a good camera.

Thanks... you using a widescreen monitor?

Oh... and FWIW, that last one was nine images stitched together.

I love your photography - I find it very inspiring. I'm staked out in Pahrump, Nevada tonight. Hoping to get some good shots in Death Valley NP tomorrow morning before heading out West...

Thanks for posting your stuff. I've also been following along on flickr.

Thank you!

Good luck with your shots in the morning. I've tried some morning stuff this summer at the Trona Pinnacles. I didn't like the color of the light a bit. I took 100 pics or so and deleted them all.

Of course, now that it's the monsoon season, maybe you'll get some good color in the morning.

What's your flickr link?

Oh... and one last thing...

Now do you believe
In the one big sign
The doublewide shine
On the bootheels of your prime

:D Cake rules.

Congrats on the stitching! I would never have guessed.

And damn these awesome pics are making me homesick - nothing like getting great sunsets in the middle of nowhere.

Wow Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That last image is incredible - thanks for taking the time to stitch those together and share.

I've always heard the best sunsets are in the desert....

Those are nice pics & thanks! Such rich color!

Here are some taken tonight:

I love the tone-mapped shots. I would love to see a high-res full size shot of the one where the sun flares are visible from the first post. Breathtaking.

Hehe... thanks. Hi-res is just a couple of clicks away. Click the image. The full-size images are up on Flickr.
