Gold Valley, Storm, 2011. Death Valley National Park, CA 
           
          
             
              | I made this photograph during an oncoming storm on the road 
                to Gold Valley. Because it was just starting to drizzle lightly, 
                I used a digital SLR to capture this image in RAW format and later 
                converted it to black and white using Nik Silver Effex Pro and 
                Photoshop CS5. A substantial amount of contrast control was done 
                locally in various areas of the image to achieve a good overall 
                balance of values. |
