I was wandering away from the road in the dark, looking for a composition of Factory Butte at sunrise. I was having trouble finding a composition that I wanted to shoot, and the sun was quickly rising. Luckily, I happened to stumble upon this composition just before the sun rose over the horizon. I set up my composition as quickly as possible, finally settling on my Nikon 14-24 lens. I was able to capture this image a short time after the sun came up over the horizon.
