Amazing capture!

Awesome shot! Curious what lenses you're using to capture these shots? Headed to Salton Sea in a couple of weeks - may need to rent a lens or two!

Thank you Derfberg! I use a Nikon 500mm f.4 on a tripod with a gimbal head (too heavy for me to handhold). Good luck at Salton Sea. Wear bug spray and take plenty of water!

Congrats!
