Have you been under the stars in Alabama Hills? Fantastic rock formations, and the mighty Sierra Nevada mountains nearby. This is not quite a super dark sky photo, as the moon was already rising, illuminating the mountains. But still, we can see the Milky Way overhead. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

If you like deserts and mountains, I think you will enjoy Alabama Hills. In fact, you will enjoy the whole Eastern Sierra region. There are so much to do and see.

Climbed up boulders and admiring the Sierra Nevada

Then there is Alabama Hills in the California's Eastern Sierra. This place is gorgeous for dry camping. You have Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48, as a backdrop and surrounded by fascinating boulders.

RV camping among rock boulders at Alabama Hills in California

“Mono Lake, Morning” — Pahoa and Negit islands silhouetted against early morning lake reflections with desert mountains.

I have shared a few other Mono Lake photos made at this elevated location some distance from the lake. This camera position gives a different and broader sense of the lake and its surroundings. It is a huge body of water — there’s far more water on the far side of the islands than between them and the near shore. The desert mountains are many miles beyond the far edge of the lake. All in all, Mono Basin is a place of immense space and great distances…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/12/31/mono-lake-morning/

Eastern Sierra From The Alabama Hills

Description: I made a quick run out to the Alabama Hills (yes, they are in California, slightly confusing) to work on timelapse techniques that have grown rusty. Really rusty.

Just another beautiful Spring day here in Bishop. Blue skies, snow capped peaks, lilacs blooming - I hope your day is as lovely, my fellow Mastodonians… #owensvalley #california #bishopcalifornia #sierranevada #bishop #landscapes #easternsierra
