thanks for your encouragement. I have a bunch of articles of Southern California coming up.
Stay out of Death Valley during the summer. If you cannot go now, go in November when tourist traffic has died down.

I am hesitant to release an ebook prematurely. I figure I want to offer a complete package. It takes some time to write and research everything there is about a location. I also wish to include more tips, better maps and some extra locations so that the book is really worth some small fee I am going to charge for it :)

The images are NOT HDR, but I see why you may think that. I boosted local contrast on the clouds via some quick curves tweaking in my RAW converter, nothing special really.
Unlike others, I only shoot RAW when I cannot fit shadows and highlights into the dynamic range of my camera and only when I feel it helps the image.

I am waiting on that book! I have discussed the possibility of a big sweeping trip that would include flying into Vegas and driving to the Grand Canyon, through Death Valley and couple of other places before ending up in Monterey (taking about two weeks). And flying out of San Francisco. Only problem is, it would have to be in the Fall.

By the way, are your landscapes HDR? They certainly look that way. Beautiful.
