    Desert Paradise - Sarah Marino & Ron Coscorrosa Photography.jpg

    Although the name "Death Valley" suggests inhospitable desolation, this part of the Mojave Desert is a place of sublime beauty and diverse, dynamic landscapes. With salt flats, sand dunes, colorful badlands, rugged canyons, dramatic mountain peaks, and a wide variety of desert plants, Death Valley National Park has a lot to offer for nature photographers.

    Death Valley is the largest national park in the contiguous United States. This can make planning a trip to the park feel overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors. With this ebook, we want to help you save time on planning and help you get to some of the park's best spots for photography, all while learning more about this unique desert landscape and how to photograph it.

    Desert Paradise is an in-depth, time-saving guide that will help you get the most out of a photography trip to Death Valley National Park. The 263-page PDF ebook includes photo location information, advice on how to photograph desert landscapes, travel information, and many example photographs—all for $29.

    DESERT PARADISE includes:
    • Detailed information on 20 primary locations, ranging from classic Death Valley icons to further afield places. Each location section includes sample photos, directions, and GPS coordinates for the parking area. The ebook also includes information for 22 additional locations in and around the park, plus tips for extending your trip by visiting Mono Lake, the Eastern Sierra, and Valley of Fire State Park. (Note: Desert Paradise does not include location information for every location featured in our personal photo portfolios of Death Valley.)
    • Photography advice specific to Death Valley’s diverse and unusual desert landscapes, including tips on working with desert light and photographing salt flats, playas, sand dunes, badlands, abstractions, black and white scenes, canyons, and plants. We also include a section on gear considerations specific to visiting Death Valley.
    • Over 120 inspiring and unique photos highlighting the diversity of Death Valley’s landscape. Technical information, including exposure settings, is included for nearly every photo.
    • Travel information, including lodging and transportation information, seasonal variations, weather, and staying safe—all of which will help you get started with planning your trip.
    • Seven maps to help orient you to the park and the photo locations, plus suggested itineraries from one day to more than a week.
    • An extended section on Nature First principles and how to minimize your impact on this sensitive landscape.
    • Price: $29 for this fully revised and expanded second edition of Desert Paradise.
    Who will get the most from this ebook?
    This ebook will be most helpful to photographers planning their first trip to the park, or photographers who have been to Death Valley before but want to explore beyond Zabriskie Point and Badwater Basin (both of those amazing locations are included in the ebook, too!). The stark, expansive landscapes of Death Valley can be both physically and visually overwhelming. This ebook will help you learn how to photograph these unfamiliar landscapes so you can make the most of your trip to the park. While there are a few accessible and roadside locations in Death Valley, visiting most photo spots will include some walking, often over uneven and rocky terrain.
