25 Stark and Remarkable Desert Landscapes

By Light Stalking on 19 Jul 2010 in Cool Photos, Featured[ 10 Comments ]

While many people think of deserts as boring and featureless, those of us who are into photography know that they can be the subject of some of the most remarkable images. A featureless landscape can throw up the most amazing surprises, especially at the right time of day. Here are 25 photos of desert landscapes that we think really capture the essence of photography in theses remarkable areas.

May I use some of these photos on my Snowy Owl Publications facebook site? (With proper credit, of course.) I would like to use some of them in conjunction with quotes and so forth. I would be happy to include a link to your site and print the photographer’s name.

Thank you,
Jessica Zolondek

Great shots! We used desert imagery extensively for our website design, so it is nice to see others love the stark and beautiful landscapes as well!

Thanks for posting these images guys. I’m quite taken by “CMGrames” image. Lines, tones, colours, and then the raggedy tree in the middle. Great stuff.
