You're too late!
It's not really what you want to hear when you're running up the hill with a full bag of cameras on your back and a tripod in your hand.
We had driven for several hours and only stopped when we absolutely had to (because the light was so good), but those are the decisions you make. Do you photograph something now and risk missing something later, or do you keep driving with no guarantee there will be anything worthwhile later? We did a bit of both and fortunately we were bang on time.
Around half a dozen photographers walked down past us from Zabriskie Point lookout, all with a self-satisfied, knowing little smiles on their faces. They were convinced that they had captured the shots we had missed. And there’s no doubt they had photographed the last rays of sunshine because the sun had disappeared just five minutes earlier.
And so they packed up while we unpacked.
