Death Valley Photographer's Guide. The Death Valley Automobile Trip photograph album containing 76 prints appears to be the record of a sightseeing trip made from Los Angeles to Death Valley in 1926.

Death Valley Photographer's Guide. A written record-in the form of diary entries-is also included and consists of a series of detailed captions describing the landscape, landmarks, and individuals encountered in Death Valley. Neither the diarist nor the photographer is identified. Cucurbita palmata, the coyote melon. These fast growing vines come up naturally in sandy washes and produce big, beautiful, bright orange flowers

Death Valley Photographer's Guide. These fast growing vines come up naturally in sandy washes and produce big, beautiful, bright orange flowers. Though not toxic they are incredibly bitter. When dried they become tan and lightweight, and local artists sometime paint scenes on them as decorative items, you can see some in our gift shop.

Shellye Poster is a photographer and teaching artist who enjoys mentoring youth photography students. She's served as the Badlands National Park Artist in Residence and her work has appeared in numerous books, calendars, brochures, and greeting cards. The only thing really missing from the book is a complete photographer's matrix chart similar to what Laurent Martres uses in his book, "Photographing the Southwest: Volume 1, Southern Utah".

In the first half of The Photographer’s Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how .

In the first half of The Photographer’s Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. Lindsay then covers the five most important things that ruin a pose―such as placement of the hands, and your subject’s expression and posture. If you can look out for and avoid these five things, your skills (and your images) will quickly improve. Next, Lindsay dives into posing essentials, outlining her approach to start with a base pose, then build on that to create endless posing opportunities.

A one-of-a-kind, invaluable resource for anyone who travels to Death Valley, this guide provides smart, practical advice to access its jaw-dropping natural landscape.

  • I used this book and another (by author Dan Suzio) to prepare for a week of photography in DVNP. While it's only 96 pages, it strikes a good balance in the amount of detail offered. We're told what kind of light to expect in each location (e.g., it only looks good in the afternoon, vs. it's best at sunrise), and given a bit of information about how accessible it is. That's important because many of the roads are not paved ... either gravel or worse ... and you wouldn't want to take a nice new car on such roads.

    Since I wasn't familiar with the layout of the land, I would have appreciated a bit more discussion of the landmarks and geologic elements that are visible at each location. It's obvious once you know the place, but I didn't know in advance that (for example) Manly Beacon is east of the Golden Canyon trailhead but you can't see it looking east until you gain some altitude. I did study a National Geographic map of DVNP while reading this book, but I should have used a more detailed trail map such as the ones you can and should get from the Park Ranger station.

    Overall, Poster's book was far more informative than Suzio's knockoff published two years later. This should be all you need, along with trail maps and lots of water bottles, and your photography gear.

  • Pros:
    Good list of locations.
    Directions and facilities for each site.

    Cons:
    Not a complete guide, not for amateur/professional photographers. It contains locations which are explained in most websites. There are no detailed maps excepts just one in the beginning of the book. I found free booklets at the park which were better.
    The photography aspect is also not covered well. The only thing covered mainly is when to shoot a certain location. If you read them all writer ends up recommending almost all locations for sunrise/sunset. Very little information on gear, no specifics on focal lengths and distances or even directions.

  • Was going for a trip to Death Valley, and I like photographing, hiking, and some off road driving. So while looking for books about Death Valley the result list showed this one. And I was thinking: why not! It really shows nicely what are great spots in Death Valley, that is the first great part. But the second great part is 'when' to take the pictures. It tells you that when it rains, or before sunrise and after sunset, are the best times! As the colors are most vibrant. This books let me wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and really shoot some great pictures, I'm very happy with the lesson the book told me. And when I go now to national parks, it means, early up, afternoon nap, and late diner, after taking pictures at sunset!

  • Shellye Poster's new book is a welcome addition to my library of "How to Photograph xxx". I just purchased this book and am very happy with the content, layout, suggestions, and information.

    In addition to featuring great photos, the book is laced with great information, suggestions, and tips. The detailed descriptions & photos provide a unique perspective on how to photograph Death Valley.

    For example, Poster writes," Photographing in the late morning will enable you to incorporate northwest skies and the Panamint Range. Views to the southeast will be better in the afternoon".

    Other comments such as, " Devil's Golf Course holds great potential for late-afternoon and sunset photography".... Foot traffic has trampled the spires closest to the parking area, so venture out a bit to discover shapes that are increasingly jagged and more appealing".

    I also like that all sections contain info on Best Times to visit, Exertion level required, Road Accessibility, and Parking information.

    The Favorites section in the back of the book lists the author's favorite hikes, sunrise & sunset locations, as well as internet and phone information.

    The only thing really missing from the book is a complete photographer's matrix chart similar to what Laurent Martres uses in his book, "Photographing the Southwest: Volume 1, Southern Utah".

    In Martres' book appendix, he developed an easy to use matrix chart ranking Scenic value, Photographic interest, Road accessibility and Hiking difficulty for each location. However, with minimum effort, it wouldn't be hard to pull this information from Shellye Poster's book.

    This book is well worth it if you plan to visit and photograph Death Valley.

  • I read this book several times before taking a trip to Death Valley in January. My main purpose was to photograph the landscape and this book helped me plan the trip and decide where I wanted to try to capture magic hour light. I captured lots of great light, so it worked. The landscapes of Death Valley are so amazing and surreal, my favorite experience of the trip was hiking out to Mesquite Dunes for sunrise. Hiking the dunes under moonlight and watching as the sun's first light hit the dunes was amazing. I recommend this book and have just ordered the photographer's guide to Glacier National Park for an upcoming trip. I hope it will be equally informative.

  • Although we had several sources of travel information, this book combined with Death Valley National Park, CA - Trails Illustrated Map #221 provided 90% of the guidance that we needed. The greatest strength of the book was the excellent organization and many useful tips offered throughout the book. These tips not only included the basics such as when to visit a site but also little pearls such as the suggestion to bring knee pads. (Wish I had done that.) Also appreciated were the lists of "favorite..." and a small section on wildflowers. The few deficiencies included the lack of an index, a graphical spreadsheet to summarize features, and the limited focus on the most popular areas. This last deficiency could actually be a blessing if you are a neophyte to the area as the park is huge and limiting your choices is somewhat of a relief.

    I would highly recommend this book not only to photographers but to anyone visiting the park without extensive experience here.
