I was ensconced between the salt crystals at the Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley National Park for an hour and a half waiting for the proverbial break in the clouds. And then it happened. I captured the scene with a Nikon D 300 and Nikkor Zoom Lens (18-200 mm.) and a Cokin 3 Step Neutral Density Filter. I used a Gitzo tripod and Arca-Swiss Head. The ISO was 200, F/13, 1/2 second exposure, and a Focal Length of 18 mm.
