In The Desert Raw

In The Desert Raw showcases photos that I took at the Desert Tortoise Natural Area in California City, CA, USA. It is a very desolate area with not much to see or look at. Sometimes the emptiness is what makes the place so beautiful. The photos are meant to reflect the emptiness of the area and also the beauty.



The idea was spur of the moment like most of my projects. Only a rare few are actually planned out. This just so happened to be relatively close to where I live and I love to capture the desert environment. There is a lot of natural beauty in the desert. Most of the work was about capturing the photos, the rest of the work was done in editing and fairly simple.


The tools were nothing crazy, just a camera, a Canon Rebel t6 to be precise with a 75-300mm lens so I can get close up shots if needed. All of the photos were edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic. One of the goals I had was going their to experience the environment and not to be a "photographer"






Many people have liked it. The photos have been shared on unsplash.com for people to download and use freely as well. I learned that the type of camera you have doesn't make a good photograph. Actually, I sold one of my more expensive cameras to go back to using my first camera, the Canon Rebel t6!
