Dunes Panorama-2

Death Valley National Park, California

I was fascinated by the dark areas of the dunes where the wind had dropped out the heavier iron patrticles on the surface.
I used that as a device to grab the eye with the higher contrast then to lead the eye into the image (left to right)
then to land back on the crusty patch on the lower right.
Then all over again.

The strategy with the 3 image panorama is to portray this grand sweeping view in a way that wasn't possible with a single shot.

Nikon D2x ,Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S
f/10 @ 1/40th 17mm ISO 100, Tripod with RRS BH-55 with Extension bar, Singh Ray Polarizer full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
