Mobius Arch and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains during a cold winter night. Alabama Hills is an unincorporated area located in Inyo County in the US state of California. The star trails are caused by the rotation of the earth during the long exposure. All illumination and colored lights were done with a handheld flashlight during the exposure, and is not a post-processing creation.
Mobius Arch, Alabama Hills, CA, framing the awe-inspiring Milky Way. I photographed this right after photographing the Manzanar Camp. Perhaps because of that, I don't know, I decided to illuminate just the edges of Mobius Arch, keeping much of it dark as well. Regardless, it's a moody, mysterious image. I illuminated the arch with a hand-held ProtoMachines LED2 flashlight while the shutter was open on my tripod-mounted camera. I used a Pinout remote controller/app to set and trigger the camera.
A car buried in sand in a remote part of Joshua Tree National Park in California, a place of many forgotten stories and secrets.
