I’ve never shot sunrise here and always wanted to give it a try. I’ve done astro under the moon, and that was alright. The textures lend well to any type of high contrast light, but at night you can’t really see the display of colors that this place offers. Sunrise can be a challenge in Death Valley as there are rarely clouds. The annual precipitation here is around 2.4 inches, and this day it rained. The front coming in glowed orange as the sun rose, but this is a twilight shot. The horizon is glowing but the stars are still out, which is what gives a nice diffused light on the landscape, while allowing us to still see the stars. I like to imagine what a flash flood might look like in the creek bed below.
