There were eight in our group – waiting for the sunrise at the Stovepipe Wells Sand Dunes in death valley national Park. The aim had been to capture a starburst as the sun peeked over the Funeral mountains of the Amargosa Range. The dunes are at their firmest at dawn and the breeze over night has erased most of the footprints from the day before. Get there first and you have pristine dunes to capture. Get there second and there are tracks everywhere. So, we got there first, found our position, set up, and then in the distance a Rick Sammon workshop wandered into view and set up on the dune in front of us. The only upside, because of the cloud they didn't get any starbursts either. I wonder if I'm in any of their photos?
