On Antelope island, Salt lake, Utah

8. Any advice for others trying to capture something similar?
be patient and at the same time ready to take any opportunity that opens. If in the car, better have other driver (a patient and committed one, preferably), don't get upset easy - some of the best opportunities come after failures.
