You don't always get the skies you hope for, but when the desert gives you empty skies, you photograph the night sky.

Bloody awesome shooting, Nick. One of my favorite late afternoon vistas is up the 4WD track to Steele Pass, as it overlooks the dunes from the South. If you are inventive, you can scrabble out a tiny camp in the gravel bed next to the road and shoot as the sun shadows the largest dunes from camp with a long lens. The purple canyons in the range past the dunes to the west form this brooding, other-worldly background with no sky, since you are shooting down on everything. And, in the morning, if you are lucky and really fast with your camera, you might get an F-18 Hornet or two between the dunes and the mountains, right over your camp at 400 knots. I wasn't fast enough, but it was a heck of a thrill. My reflexes do better with Barrel cactus and sand. Thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us. I love this community we are all part of.
Liking those desert Tunes I caught myself tapping my feet.
Your musical choices for this video were so well suited for the incredible imagery you captured. Great video Nick!

So true.
I like how you talk about and show us how a place named Death Valley can come to life.
When life gives you lemons… Does your versatility know no bounds! Awesome video man
A little Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon would go long with this very nicely. Another fine video Nick. Thanks for sharing and taking us along on the journey.
The Alabama Hills and Death Valley are the Mecca of Landscape Photography. At the moment, there's a brush fire that started south of the Mammoth Airport and right now, is burning across Big Pine and the Cal Tech Radio Observatory.
Nick, those dune shots took my breath away; fantastic video and images.
Holy sh*t, Nick - those skull rock images are incredible!!
Mate... this post was simply exquisite!!! the footage.. the editing.. the production... the music, the stills!!! well done!!!! your channel is getting better and better! Big fun of your work! I learnt everything about luminosity masks thanks to your tutorials! ;). I'd love to see how to edited the shots in this posts!!! 👏 🙌 ;)
So good to see another video from you! Both of these locations are within driving distance for me so I spend quite a bit of time out there. Kudos to you for making the long drive down here. Thank you for proving that you don't need awesome skies to come up with great shots in the desert. In addition to your awesome photos, I loved that drone shot at sunrise heading into the sierras. Awesome B roll here. You are giving Heaton a run for his money.
Two of my favorite places to visit. Love your images!
The scenery is like a Star Wars Movie! Great Video👍

Brilliant. Love those images of the dunes Nick, could almost touch the texture through the screen. Thanks for sharing again, it’s been a while. Stay safe 🇦🇺
Excellent shooting....... and now another place on my bucket list!
Welcome to Cali. Two of my favorite Eastside locales. Have a great visit!
Great video Nick! Stunning photos - every one of them. I love all your light-painted night photography.
Wow! We don't hear from you often enough, but when we do, you knock it out of the park!
The light painting in the cave is just incredible. Love how you were able to keep the stars so visible with all of that light.
Such a great video Nick! The music, the drone shots and the very cool sunrise timelapse. 👍 I love the night shots with the light painting. Great job!
Absolutely stunning ! Love all of the shots but the alien like rock formation under the night sky , absolutely amazing !
Fantastic shots! And what a wonderful adventure in the desert!! Love the night shots, but also the sand dunes were incredibly beautiful, many compliments Nick.
Always love it when you post, man. So good! Great music choices, by the way.
Just watched on my TV in 4K, absolutely fantastic. Great to see you back in action Nick
Such an awesome video Nick!! Wow. The images you captured were spectacular! Sand dunes have now been added to my photo list. Nicely done!!
Nick, great work. It's amazing how something so harsh, dry and barren can be so beautiful.
Well done Nick. I just had to watch this twice once on my big screen TV. It's just stunning.
Those textures are amazing!
The time-lapse sunrise - Just spectacular
Totally awesome images, as always! Really Loved the night shots! Video. Was perfectly packaged. Thanks!

Glad to see you back in action. Lovely video - as always inspiring.
The word that comes to my mind is Amazing. These are truly amazing images. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you are on the mend.
Wonderful locations and some fabulous images. Well done Nick.
Good to see you out there. Such a beautiful place for a great photographer like you to explore.
I always look forward to your videos. Fantastic all around, and that music is just so hauntingly beautiful, perfect for the loneliness of the dunes.
Those dune shots took my breath away Nick. Great video and epic images.
Great to see you back Nick, well worth the wait as per the norm with your work
amazing video and location Nick, Love how the sun reflects of the silica as you pan across the scorpion trail
Sand dunes abstraction is such an inspiring theme...simplicity and minimalism of it 🤌
Wowser!! Great shots and a wonderful video for us. Thank you🙏🏻
That light painting was awesome and some of those Dune black and whites were killer! That very first dune shot with that leading golden line up the middle…👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video, great shots, great music/soundtrack (bravo), great editing; loved it al the way.
Absolutely fantastic video. Your photography is amazing buddy. I love the way you put your videos together. Educational, and relaxing. I have learnt a lot from your videos, I appreciate your channel a lot. Thank you 😊
Superb video, loved the "skull" rock photos, the dune shots were great with the music, fantastic as usual 🤘
Nick, this is one of your best videos, IMHO. Thanks
Nice to see you again. Great location, awesome photos and very entretaining video!!
Oh, man, those dune shots! Man, I LOVE (and seriously miss) the desert!
Beautiful photos and an amazing video. - Thank You.
The dunes are some your best work as far as I am concerned, thanks for the video.
Awesome work as usual Nick!
Nick, Nick, Nick. The images, the production, the music. Well done. Without any doubt the best on You Tube. Truly inspirational.
Great work Nick ! That elephant skull rock shot with the stars is amazing but my god those sand dunes Oh man WOW.
another fine production Nick. Glad to see you in SoCal.
Thanks for this field video. I always enjoy these and learn from your creative process.
Great shots, especially the one taken with light painting.
Stunning shots! I especially liked the monochrome shots of the dunes. Such exquisite texture! Had no idea such scenery could be found in the States!
Great stuff Nick, good to see you back in the saddle
Great stuff, Nick! Thanks for sharing!
I never thought that sand dunes could look so good until I saw what you captured Nick, really beautiful images. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great to have you back! Hope covid was not too bad!
Outstanding visuals Nick, one of the best in the field videos I've seen in a good while. That landscape was absolutely stunning!
Wow that was really amazing, Nick! I loved that bnw dune shot. 👌🏼 Great to see how far you’ve come over the years! I remember we met way back before you were doing photography - you’re an inspiration, bro! 🤙🏼
Quite simply beautiful images Nick 👍
Epic images and epic video production! I really enjoyed this; you made my evening, thanks!
Just Beautiful! 👍
The dune shot are stunning
This as so nicely done! Your images are so beautiful. I enjoyed feeling like I was right there too
Epic stuff, Nick. You’re amazing. 👍🦘🇦🇺
Good to see you back and hopefully fully recovered.
Love those dunes Nick!
Fantastic video Nick great dune shots
Love Alabama hills was there last year and photographed the mobius arch. Great stuff!
Tes photos de désert me scotchent à chaque fois. J’espère pouvoir en faire un jour d’aussi belles
Great work Nick! The Alabama hills are great but clear skies definitely happen often. I was fortunate last year and had a snow squall blowing over the peaks just at sunrise, so the underside of the storm lit up with the alpenglow too. Great tips on the DV sand dunes too. Looks like you had the place almost entirely to yourself
Dang, loving the vibe!
Fantastic scenery/shots Nick - don't see anything like those dunes here in the UK! Also loved that B-roll of your truck driving off-road.
Great video. Going to Southern Utah in May and there are a few small arches. You just gave me some ideas. Thanks.
Those astro shots were so otherworldly 🤩 Loved it man

Thanks man! All it needed was a penguin! :)
Stunning photos and fantastic place🤗🤗🤗
What a masterpiece.
perfect timing with this video, heading out to Vegas next month and spending a day in Death Valley with a day spent in those dunes or Mesquite for the afternoon. Hoping all your videos give me direction out there.
Nick, you are truly an artist.
Congratulations Nick, really artistic pictures. I’m really jealous right now 😉 Everything is so cool in this video
just amazing
Great pictures. Thank you Nick.
That sand dune shot at 6.30 is absolutely stunning, love it. (And as much as I love him, you've always been killing Thomas :) )
Most beautiful film and magnificent images
Great video as always, thanks for posting.
Epic scenery & photos!
Beautiful work!
Another banger... you have the best job in the world
Only two words…… Amazingly Amazing!
Gad, I want to get back there!! The Eastern Sierra and Death Valley are photographic paradise. Wonderful shots you’ve taken.
