Photo: The Final Frontier – Otherworldly Mobius Arch with Milky Way!

The Final Frontier (7126)
Mobius Arch, Alabama Hills, CA, framing the awe-inspiring Milky Way.

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.

Nikon D610/Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens @ 20 seconds f/2.4 ISO 4000 on 2017-06-22 02:50.

Photo: The Sierras Through The Eye of the Arch (Mobius Arch Night Sky Photography)

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 y las montañas de la Sierra Nevadas durante una fría noche de invierno. Alabama Hills es un área no incorporada ubicada en el condado de Inyo en el estado estadounidense de California. Los estelas de estrellas son causadas por la rotación de la tierra durante la larga exposición. Todas las luces de iluminación y de color se hicieron con una linterna de mano durante la exposición, y no es una creación de post-procesamiento.

I blended this with another photo so I could “light paint” the arch with a Protomachines LED2 flashlight. 2 minutes f/8 ISO 200 2 4000k.

 

Me mezclé esto con otra foto, así que podría “pintura de luz” el arco con una Protomachines LED2 linterna. 2 minutos f/8 ISO 200 2 4000k.

Mobius Arch Star Trails, Alabama Hills

Light painting and “stacked” multiple exposures during a hot night in the desert near Lone Pine, California.  The stacking was done in Photoshop CS4 to have a little more control over the light painting and to reduce noise.  This also marks the first time I used Noise Ninja to clean up the noise.  While it wasn’t bad at all, I felt that a little cleaning up was better, so I selectively “de-noised” parts of the photo via layer masking.

Title: Mobius Arch Polaris Star Trail
Info: Nikon D90, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, Feisol tripod. 65 minutes total, composed of 130 30-second photos, all ISO 1600, f/4.5. Light painted with my handy head lamp.
Photography: Ken Lee
Location: Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California, USA.

A hot evening, especially when running around “light painting”. But I also had a chance to lay on my back and watch the stars. I actually began dozing off when a car pulled up. You can see some of the light from the head lights on the arch.

The swirling stars are magical, a result of the long exposure of the camera capturing the movement of the stars. Polaris, the North Star, is in the middle, and all the stars appear to rotate around it, this movement, of course, primarily a result of the rotation of the earth.
