Dark Reign - a photo on Flickriver

Dark Reign

            As a California local, I don't get out to explore Death Valley as much as I wish I did. It took a couple visits to the park to finally find these balls, because my previous visits to Death Valley resulted in no finds. This was the first time I've seen cotton ball salt formations since I started my landscape photography journey of 5 years.

These salt formations were a little underwhelming to shoot as they all sorta of look the same. The only thing you can really do is try and find an arrangement of salt formations that you like.

This was photo is composed of 2 shots, 1 blue hour exposure for the foreground with one longer wide open exposure for the milky way sky.
