Moon Over Death Valley

While driving through Panamint Valley towards Death Valley, I was lucky enough to come upon a full moon appearing over the horizon. These hills are the western side of Death Valley

Truly a classic. It reminds me of photos of national geographic. Fantastic clarity, artistically composed and so well thought.

Fantastic capture......I'm planinig a trip to death valley this winter.....Do you have any tips about locations for
flickr -ing away?????
I too saw this on explore...Congrats

Extra Medium says:

@HB-19 - as for places, death valley is nice, but just driving through Panamint valley and just around the areas looking for texture.. it's always best to catch it at sunrise or sunset, for more dramatic lighting. Other than that, just try to use basic composition rules and then bend them until you find something you find interesting. good luck!
