Tales and Adventures of Exploring the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area
A setting looking to the west through the Mobius Arch to a view beyond with Mount Whitney caught in the sunlight of a setting sun. This location is in the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area. My thinking in composing this image was to use the arch as a portal like view to beyond with Mount Whitney and other peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Metering the image was a matter of setting an exposure to capture the sunlight present and reflecting off the haze from the recent wildfires in this portion of California. The large dynamic range that I felt I was capturing would need to be worked on later as an HDR image. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
