Bodie 'n' the Big Dipper - How early to you get to where you're going to photograph if you're shooting at dawn? This shot was taken when I first got to Bodie Island about 5:20 AM... the sun wasn't due to rise until about 7 AM or so. You want to be there before even the first hint of light on the eastern horizon... What do you do with the time on your hands? Heck, when the Big Dipper is fortuitously right next to the Bodie Island lantern room, why not shoot it too?
