I drove 27 miles down a four-wheel drive road in the remote northwestern corner of Death Valley National Park to reach the Racetrack, the dried lake bed shown in this photo. The Racetrack playa has become well known for the rocks that are thought to move around on the surface in the winter, leaving strange tracks in the mud.
I set up my tripod shortly after sunset in the diffuse, glowing ambient light. My idea was to capture both this rock and the surface of the lake bed. While there was no real directionality to the light, the front of the rock facing the camera was deep in shadow, particularly when I positioned the camera with an extreme wide-angle lens (10.5mm) as low as I needed to make this composition work.
To brighten the rock, I used a collapsible portable metallic fill disc I had with me to reflect light into the shadows in the rock.
10.5mm digital fisheye, 1/13 of a second at f/22 and ISO 100, tripod mounted
