    Bloody awesome shooting, Nick. One of my favorite late afternoon vistas is up the 4WD track to Steele Pass, as it overlooks the dunes from the South. If you are inventive, you can scrabble out a tiny camp in the gravel bed next to the road and shoot as the sun shadows the largest dunes from camp with a long lens. The purple canyons in the range past the dunes to the west form this brooding, other-worldly background with no sky, since you are shooting down on everything. And, in the morning, if you are lucky and really fast with your camera, you might get an F-18 Hornet or two between the dunes and the mountains, right over your camp at 400 knots. I wasn't fast enough, but it was a heck of a thrill. My reflexes do better with Barrel cactus and sand. Thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us. I love this community we are all part of.

Thank you for proving that you don't need awesome skies to come up with great shots in the desert. In addition to your awesome photos, I loved that drone shot at sunrise heading into the sierras. Awesome B roll here. You are giving Heaton a run for his money.

    Great work Nick! The Alabama hills are great but clear skies definitely happen often. I was fortunate last year and had a snow squall blowing over the peaks just at sunrise, so the underside of the storm lit up with the alpenglow too. Great tips on the DV sand dunes too. Looks like you had the place almost entirely to yourself
