Scott Holcomb's photos with the keyword: Panamint Valley

Once a lake in wetter times, the Panamint Valley is now a dry wasteland where summer temperatures can approach 50ºC. As barren as it is, there is a desolate beauty here, particularly at that magic hour of dusk. This image was shot from a Kiev 60 medium format film camera with a МИР - 26В 3.5/45mm lens and a Hoya HMC O[G] 82mm filter using Ilford Delta 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized with Photoshop.

The serene beauty of the vista of Panamint Valley far below from Father Crowley Overlook belies the the name of this park. This photo was taken with an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera with a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75mm lens using Fuji 160NS film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
