glare

Death Valley NP, California

exploring the extensive (see previous) Badwater Basin means confronting the huge, flat expanse of valley floor...glare from the reflective salt crystals is incredible...still, hardy photographers visiting in mid-winter seemed to find myriad close-up details while checking out the salt pan's crunchy surface

this is the lowest point in North America, with an elevation of 282ft (86m) below sea level

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/640s f/13.0 at 60.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Great candid and what a location to shoot a candid. Reminds me of the old Miscellany photos, the last photo in each issue of Life magazine. Vote.

Great layers and love the snow on the mountain tops. The intrepid photogs look rather small compared to the vastness. V

Crazy photographers :) Super shot David - funny that the salt looks like snow and there is snow on the mountains ! V

The place does look immense. The people and the mountains give a wonderful sense of scale to the photo.

The scale of the men adds something as compared with their surroundings

So much to choose from they don't get in each others way. The backdrop is spectacular. V

It looks like everyone is out playing in the snow. Great documentation of what goes on there as well as the view. I was one of those guys.

I can imagine that must have been brilliant, but you have captured it quite well here, with both a lovely backdrop and intrepid photographers.
