Death Valley National Park
by Kevin McNeal
This is a 70-200 compressed image of the rocks at Zabriske Point at Death Valley. I used a Mor-Slo 5-Stop ND Filter to bring out the richness in the rocks

Kevin, help me here – how does a longer exposure (using the Mor-Slo ND filter) increase the richness in the rocks?

Wow, this looks like a piece of suade or leather fabric. Wonderful colors, absolutely gorgeous spectrum….. and great shot. Thank you.

Wow. Pretty amazing. I love the colors here.

Landscape or abstract art?!!!
Truly a great work Kevin.
I thought you had used a polariser at first. Frankly I can’t fathom how lengthening the exposure would saturate the colors unless you underexpose, which you can do anyway.I take your word for it though.

awesome! I have always admired shots of death valley!!! and this one is no exception! great shot, have to get there one day!
Pauline Jones
Nice textures and color subtleties. Would make a good abstract painting.

Nice abstract picture. Would you be so kind to explain better your sentence “5-Stop ND Filter to bring out the richness in the rocks”? I’m not able to understand why a longer exposure time should deliver a crisper result. TIA

After an initial “Oh, yet another Death Valley photo
” I was absolutely stunned by the extraordinary view, colors and texture. What an amazing planet! And what a great artist you are, Kevin.

What a fascinating image! Like everyone else, I’m mesmerized by the amazing colors, shapes, and textures.
Please explain your “compressed image.” Does this mean the landscape actually took more space and distance, put the image was condensed to make it all look closer together? Is that done with a camera lens or with a computer? Thanks!

Your shot makes me want to paint! Can I use it as a model? Best wishes for the day! Lisbeth
