Death Valley

On our way home we decided to visit Death Valley. It was 120 degrees as we were driving through. Absolutely insane! The instant you turned off the AC or stepped out of the car you'd start sweating!


The infamous Sand Dunes! (plus the attractive black spot... stinky camera cleaners that don't actually clean your camera!)






Sea Level!



Below sea level! Check out that itsy bitsy sign in the middle of the mountain!






The Badwater Basin (all that white stuff is salt)






Trailhead

Yosemite: Part 3

During our last day in Yosemite, Canon had a free photography workshop to try out their equipment and spend 2 hrs learning more about taking pictures in Yosemite. Luckily they let Nikon users participate too! I managed to sneak into the lead photographers group and spent quite a bit of that time talking to him and asking a lot of questions! He was very helpful and recommended some readings to kick off my future (fingers crossed) photo business. The pictures from his website are AMAZING (unlike these :). Here's a little more from my adventure to Yosemite. Sequoia's will be up next!
