A Look Back—Red Rock Moon
The light was already harsh, but I couldn’t neglect this angle with the moon. From a camping trip to Death Valley in January, 2009. Taken at Red Rock State Park, California. Taken with the 70-200mm telephoto lens.

Death Valley 2013–Telescope Peak Moonset
I was aware the moon would be setting near sunrise the previous morning at the Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes, but I hadn’t checked to see when it would set this morning. I was happy to find this alignment with Telescope Peak when I arrived at Badwater. This was about 40 minutes before sunrise.

Death Valley 2013–Moon Set Mesquite Flats
I timed my visit to the Mesquite Flats sand dunes to arrive as the moon was setting and before the sun rose. I parked a mile from the paved parking area in order to hike into some of the more remote sand dunes. I wanted to photograph the setting moon with the dunes in the foreground. Unfortunately, I underestimated how far away the dunes were and didn’t get there in time. This was as close as I got before the moon set behind Tucki Mountain.
