Sunset Dust Storm Over Mesquite Flat Dunes
Sunday evening in Death Valley National Park, California. It was interesting trying to cook dinner over a fire in that wind!

    Sairam Sundaresan It was an amazing weekend. The air on Saturday was crystal clear, without the usual Southern California smog, after rains Friday night. On Sunday the wind came up, and a dust storm was visible over the dunes from the exit to Titus Canyon.  Light rays were streaming over the Panamint Range.  The sun has moved north far enough that Devil's Cornfield was perfect to line the sun up with the dunes until the sun got too low in the sky.  I had to move closer to the Mesquite Flat parking lot for this shot, to be able to eliminate sunlight and sun flare from the lens.

    The clarity in this image is what impressed me first. You can see the windswept sand even from so far out! Delighted you had great conditions here :)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+.
