Elephant Skin - Early Morning Impression in Death Valley

            Most landscape photos are likely to be wide-angle shots, but it's also worth taking telephoto shots. When I travel I always have my 70-200 with me and like in this photo together with the 2x teleconverter you get completely different compressed sections and abstract views. The "elephant skin" of the rocks in the foreground harmonizes wonderfully with the sandy tones of the Bad Water Basin in the background. This photo was taken early in the morning in Death Valley from Zabriskie Point. It was the second time I visited Death Valley (way back in the 80s) and I've been fascinated by this unique landscape ever since...

Die meisten Landschaftsfotos sind wohl Weitwinkelaufnahmen, doch es lohnt sich auch, Teleaufnahmen zu machen. Bei Reisen habe ich immer mein 70-200er im Gepäck und wie in diesem Foto zusammen mit dem 2-fach Telekonverter erhält man ganz andere komprimierte Aussschnitte und abstrakte Ansichten. Die "Elefantenhaut" der Felsen im Vordergrund harmoniert wunderbar mit den Sandtönen des Bad Water Basins im Hintergrund. Diese Aufnahme entstand am frühen Morgen im Death Valley vom Zabriskie Point aus. Es war das zweite Mal, dass ich das Death Valley besucht habe (lange zurück in den 80ern) und seitdem fasziniert mich diese einzigartige Landschaft...
