This unusual shot from Zabriskie Point was made in February 2009 after the park received 2-inches of rain over the weekend. My good friend Victor Beer and I had waited until Sunday the day previous for the skies to clear. Early the next morning we were at Zabriskie Point and watched the sunrise and its effect on Death Valley and the surrounding Panamint Mountains. The weather was still in transition, clearing to the east and south. Above 4500 feet, snow covered the mountains and clouds still clung to the peaks and upper valleys The full moon was obscured this day, so we had to return on Tuesday to capture the moon setting at sunrise (next page). Quite an unusual shot for a region that only receives about 2 1/4 inches of rain annually. We had about 2 inches in as many days...
I took about 8 shots of Death Valley in this sequence and stitched them all together--the largest length panoramic I've yet put together. At the 24x36 aspect, I could add another 36-inches to the left of this image and another 36-inches to the right. I've printed a small sample of the whole panoramic at 8-inches tall by about 36 inches long. If framed to fit a 24-inch frame, the length would be 108-inches! I'm trying to figure the best way to show this one! For practical purposes, I usually stick to a maximum width of 60-inches (5-feet)which makes the height of the print around 12-inches.
You may purchase this "central" section of the panoramic or you may try a 3-image set to hang together without one large heavy framed print. I suggest a museum glass option, which reduces the reflections in the darker portions of the print and shows more detail in the foreground. Also available in custom sizes and in canvas.
