A Zabriskie Sunrise

I've photographed Zabriskie Point many times. The lighting on this day was unusual (at least to me, based on past experiences). Cloud banks to the east kept the rolling features of Zabriskie Point in shadow while the basin and hills in the background caught the morning light. Later in the morning, the reverse happened. The sawtooth of Manly Peak was lit with the mountains and basin in shadow.

Technical Details:
- Sony A7RII w/ FE 70-200 F4 G OSS
- f/8 @ 93mm, 1/100s, ISO 200
- Processed in Lightroom

I also had my Sony RX0 camera running to capture the changes in the scene. I turned it into a time lapse video. Enjoy!
