Took anothe 24hr ish trip to Death valley this weekend. There was some art festival going on there...but i had no idea about it..go figure. This shot almost didn't happen, i woke up in the truck around 4:30 and noticed nothing but dark clouds and feel the wind blowing against the truck. Decided to head to Zabriski point, do a quick grab of sunrise and head back to LA. I saw an opening to the east as I pulled into the Z parking lot..contemplated for a few minutes and started driving to Badwater at 5:30 for a 6:10 am sunrise.
Park the truck, put boots on..grab the lenses that i put in the thinktank belt and starting tumbling down the hill...OS! camera...its still in the truck..go back..get the camera and go down the hill again...at this point i can see some pink clouds all over the badwater area...literally..everywhere. I keep running (if you're visualizing..visualize a scene from run fatboy run), while running i keep telling myself..i will not be denied i will not be denied...then another OS moment ..no camera battery (actually that didn't happen but adds to the suspense).
i had a fairly good idea where i wanted to be to get the telescope peak shot, but the show was equally if not better towards Dante's view area. Finally after my lungs were on fire, throat parched, lips dry, shoulders hurting... i finally get to the spot...turn around, setup everything and capture this.
