Mojave Desert Photography: Rainbow Basin....

www.elpasomountains.blogspot

Rainbow Basin is in the Calico Mountains, and it is not far from Fort Irwin Rd.

One can find beauty even in the most desolate environment.  Creating a beautiful image is not hard if one resists the temptation to shoot from inside one's vehicle, and if one understands the basics of photography.
This photograph demonstrates that understanding depth of field is an absolute necessity in order to take decent photographs.
