Title: Joshua Trees
Post by: MTGFender on March 24, 2013, 03:40:14 pm: Joshua Tree National Park, CA

I had 4 hours at the Park. I've never seen something like this in my life!
What a place!

An excellent thing in my humble opinion.

As for this image - wonderful subject and beautifully captured.
The subtle shadow tones and detail are simply glorious.

Its not just my imagination is it, but the quality of your image-making is just powering ahead.

Congratulations.

I've been to Joshua Tree NP twice and never was able to get an image of the trees that did anything but look quirky, so I stuck with the rock formations.
This must be the grandest Joshua Tree, and you've captured it in the perfect light! Bravo!

Did you also do the 1-hour "nature trail" walk? A great way to see a splendid variety of vegetation, animals and rock formations in a very short time.

Thanks very much! I wish I had more time there. I had only 3 hrs before and 1 hour after the sunset. I will absolutely revisit the Park in the future. There are countless opportunities there.

We were there in mid-February and spent a while in Hidden Valley.

Don't miss that place if you go again.

A gorgeous photograph of an especially regal Joshua Tree at dusk.
