Like the previous image, this is also a single exposure, and utilizing a polarizing filter for the capture. The view is looking northwest and many miles away from the previous view. Horizon does naturally slant to the left. Camera was set to dead level.

King of the Hammers - #2
This is one way to find a spot for a possible landscape image of the valley. It was found by accident. While on our way back to Hammer Town after a long day, we saw a narrow, steep path going up the hill and decided to check it out. Net result was a posted Landscape from several taken - Greater Johnson Valley, and this image.
Single exposure, plus also using a polarizing filter.

An overlooked image from Feb. 2014.
As mentioned in the dialog on the last image, I'm deleting a lot of unused old images. This one had the possibilities for story telling and a good composition. So, I played around with it for awhile after cropping (to 16X9 ratio) off the bottom half and using this part of the scene to work over.

King of the Hammers - #5
See "King of the hammers Week" #1 & "Moon Rise Over Johnson Valley" for dialog on the full series.
While off looking for photo opportunities, we ran into the BBC's Top Gear host Jason Berger and his crew, who were filming for a future episode on off road racing. According to one of the crew members, it's suppose to air in June or July. Just 3-images will be uploaded to give the viewer a quick look behind the scenes.
King of the Hammers - #6
See "Filming #1" for info on series.
Trust me, there was multiple runs to this rock area. Trying to get to the right spot and for various shots.
King of the Hammers #37
Similar to a couple of others in this location, just felt like putting it in - lots of dust/sand & closer. The hills and mountains in the background is an off road playground & sandbox.

Thought I would throw a curve ball and go monochrome. The "car" was mostly white anyway, besides the image looked better this way than in color. I did put a lot of time in processing this image, knowing that it is distend to be printed/framed & hung with some similar images.
For the viewers from monochrome, B&W etc. groups, this is part of a series of images from the "King of the Hammers" annual off road race, down in Johnson Valley, Mojave Desert. The first few images, in the series, are your traditional monochrome landscapes of the area.
