Friday

This will be a full day in Death Valley. We will begin by rising before dawn to photograph the sunrise at Dante's View and Zabriskie Point. Later, we will spend some time going over the important digital techniques. "Shooting for Raw", digital work flow, converting to Black&White, and processing digital pictures. After breakfast we will begin to explore different areas in the southern end of the valley including Badwater, Artist Point, and more. We will end our day at a specific location where we will shoot the sunset.
