At first I shot JPEG because I was naive and wanted quantity over quality.
Then I shot RAW, because I was still naive but wanted quality over
quantity. Now I've gone back to JPEG because I'm no longer naive, and I
want both quantity and quality.

It rains in Death Valley mabe once in 5 yrars or so (winter time not monsoon) and Mahesh was there ???. The pics are just wonderful, I can feel the atmosphere and hear the sounds..just lovely. Does God get up every morning saying" what can I do for Mahesh today"?.Thank you for leting us share in your joy.

Mahesh,

Looking at your pictures I always think how much truth is in the saying "it's not a camera-it's a photographer!" I can't stop wondering if we really have the same camera. (BTW -I love mine)
Man, you rock!

Hi Mahesh -

I have your Death Valley photos gradually downloading in the background on this slow connection - - you got a lot of depth of field in some of them, and good sky.

We're flying down to Las Vegas next month, to drive to the Zion - Bryce area for a week, primary goal being photography. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hey bud,

1. Dress warm (but in layers) because you may get warm going up and down trails in Bryce. Brigh a thin pair of gloves that will keep you relatively warm but won't hinder you from using the camera controls.

2. Take a polarizer...lots of glare off of the slick smooth mountains in Zion.

3. Consider a grad ND filter (soft)--maybe 2 or 3 stops. Zyon canyons are dark and the sky over head is really bright.

4. Bring a nice tele lens with you...lots of deer to see (but you probably get enough of that by where you live already )

5. The usual stuff...sturdy tripod, plenty of storage, cable release
