First Milky way of the season for me. I dont know when I’ll visit the Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia but I could finally fulfill my dream shot in the salt flats at Death Valley. 8.5 hours of drive, 1 hour sleep and 3 hours in ankle deep water - Totally worth the final result. I had been eyeing this comp for at least couple of years until now. This year too I was a little late as the water levels in the salt flats had receded far inward. I had to find it in the darkness as I had not been able to plan in the day. Happy that I was helped by all the forces to make this shot a reality!
