Cant wait to move into my new house and hang these!
One of the arches found in the Alabama Hills, the setting for many old western movies. This is on the 395 near Lone Pine - California
If anyone can identify this arch I would be grateful.

The Alabama Hills near Mount Whitney are home to some of the most incredible rock formations I've ever seen.
Orange Beach, Alabama dawn 11/28/09
Happy Saturday, ya'll!!! I hope you all had warmer things to do than be out in the pre-dawn chill like me this morning...LOL But after getting 4 hour's sleep after a late Flickr night, I even beat the alarm clock up, at 4 AM...(had it set for 4:30), and knew I had to take the weekend crap shoot of trying for a good sunrise! My insanity takes me PLACES...LOL!!! The temp was 43 degrees with 87% humidity (making for a damp cold) when I set up on the beach at around 5...and soon some nice color began to appear!
This first capture is a time lapse, 6.6 seconds, to catch the color as it began...note the wave motion on the shore edge!
As you'll notice, the skies change rapidly at the beach and these captures hardly look like the same sunrise but in a couple of them it looks like even two different skies...so much to try to capture! No wonder I didn't even notice that 2 1/2 hours of constant shooting had passed and I wondered why I was nearly frozen stiff!!! LOL Who cares about Beach Blanket Bingo...just give me the blanket!!! ; )
I couldn't get them cropped well enough for Flickr to format bigger main page views, so please take a few moments to view them Large...while I continue to thaw out! Have a great day, everyone!!! : )
Looking up at the Milky Way on the rocky hills of Alabama Hills. Nothing better than a great skies and good company. Another shot in the 2013 archive that I have not posted) :) Exif: f2.8, iso 5000, 25 sec, Canon 6D, Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm F2.8
I finally got a chance to put the new Canon 5D Mark III body through the paces this weekend. I came home with 137 GB of timelapse and video, and a big pile of stills to go through, including this shot made with at ISO 5000, f/1.4, 24mm, 13 seconds, in the Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, CA. Suffice it to say I could not be happier with the low light performance and low noise levels of this camera. Canon have really brought forth a new era in SLR astrophotography (light leaks and all...who shines a headlamp at the top of their camera while metering in the dark anyway?)
Oh yes these Alabama Squirrels ate strawberries. I couldn't get my Georgia squirrels to eat strawberries.
It was stormy the entire time I was there and I didn't want to stop. Everywhere I looked there was something else to photograph.

Super early in the morning and freezing cold but worth it!
Alabama Hills are a rocky formation on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the Owens Valley of California, near Lone Pine, California
Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States, towers several thousand feet above here.

I think this looks like a rural version of the Notre Dame Cathedral. I don't know why, just me I guess.

A ribbon of clouds cresting the Sierra Nevada greeted me during my first morning at Alabama Hills, just west of the town of Lone Pine. The winds at that altitude reshaped them into lenticular clouds and my long pre-dawn exposure exaggerated their shapes even more.

I finally have a bit of time to go through some more holiday photos. Our recent trip to the US seems like a lifetime ago...Witnessed this awesome sunset, some very rugged country :-)

Ok, I know that I am getting lazy coming up with titles, but after loading more than 500 images on flickr I've run out of ideas. Hope that you guys have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Superbowl!
Just going through some shots from summer. One of the stops from our t&l summer road trip Light painting with Steve Sieren in Alabama Hills.
Thanks for looking.
No. they're not in Alabama, but rather in California. and lie just directly east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are viisible in the background. The Alabama Hills are managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) which oversees vast swaths of public land in the States, especially in the west and southwest.
The Alabama Hills are famous for having served as the location for many Western movies and TV shows. The nearby town of Lone Pine has a wonderful museum, The Museum of Western Film History, that chronicles this history.
Today, the hills offer plenty of opportunities to camp, hike or bike. They are also considered the eastern gateway to Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.
By the way, the hills were named after the Confederate warship Alabama by prospectors who were sympathetic to the Confederate cause.
Alabama Hills are a rocky formation on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the Owens Valley of California, near Lone Pine. Dozens of natural arches are among the main attractions at the Alabama Hills. The Mobius Arch is among the mostly photographed arches. You can see the snow capped Mount Whitney through the Arch. Mount Whitney is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.

I know...it is a well known sunrise location. While scouting this location the day before the "official sunrise session" I couldn't resist to take this shot. What do you think?
As I was heading up Hwy 395 heading towards Lone Pine for a Flickr meet up, this amazing lenticular clouds became visible about the time I reached Little Lake. There was basically no other clouds in the sky, so I was hoping and praying it would hold out for the evening. It was still hanging out...just over Lone Pine when I arrived at about 5:00pm, so I quickly checked into the BW and headed up into the hills. I did a bit of exploring and shot some other comps, waiting for the sun to set. Once the sun went down, there was a bit of color and I got some decent shots, but it was in the blue hour that I thought things were the most interesting. Finally it was nearly dark and I packed up and headed back down the hill. I kept looking and nearly stopped again to shoot and this amazing cloud continued to change under the dying light. It's a good thing I got it because the rest of the weekend was largely cloud free.

Ashes scattered. Beer and pancakes were had, but not at the same time. Think of JS next time you're set up in the Alabama Hills for a sunrise.

The rocks of the Alabama Hills have instersting shapes and textures. Someone asked if this sky was Photoshopped. No. It is the acutal natural sky. I used my Nikon D80, 20mm wide angle zoom, with a circular polarizing filter. Taken at about 1 PM. Only Levels adjustment in PS.
I can now claim to be an authentic Alabama photographer. I finally shot the little red boathouse.
