22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Death Valley Storm

This is a stroke of luck photograph. While photographing the sand dunes during a cloudy day with storm clouds, the sun broke through for 3-4 seconds allowing this single exposure. I was in LA for a few days in January and decided to give myself a 3 day trip to Death Valley to experience the solitude and shoot for myself.
