The Milky Way rises above the famous but elusive Mobius Arch in Alabama Hills, nestled in the desert foothills of California's Eastern Sierra in the shadow of Mount Whitney, the highest mountain peak in the continental United States.

 

This was the day my favorite 14mm lens took a tumble onto those boulders, smashing the integrated hood , damaging the focusing ring, and nearly totaling the lens! Winds in the desert foothills of the Eastern Sierra were in excess of 45MPH all day, and I had an amazing opportunity to photograph some crepuscular "God" rays of the sun in the evening. Later that night, I stuck around to photograph the Milky Way over Mobius Arch. As I was photographing this scene, I reached to get something out of my camera bag, and heard a loud "Thunk… CRUNCH!" as the wind picked up my tripod and smashed my camera and lens into the boulder they were sitting on. Pieces of my lens rattled and tumbled down the boulder below. I thought the lens was totaled for sure. Later, I managed to get my lens working again, albeit significantly worse for wear. Now it has a smashed hood and sticky focus ring, but it still makes beautifully sharp images! Gotta love those Rokinon primes. Bulletproof tanks they are, and razor sharp too!

 

I photographed this image with my Canon 17-40mm f/4 L USM lens, because I'd not figured out yet if the 14mm was working or not yet, and it was difficult to do anything in the inky black darkness of the desert night. This image was light painted for just a couple of seconds using only the light from the single LED flash on the back of my iPhone.

Night time shot of Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California

And the slightly more traditional look at the now famous Arch (darn it)....although from a slightly different vantage point than I've shot before...

No mobius string there but that was my first suggestion. This just looked good so... you know.

 

Manipulations: HDR from single RAW file. Photomatix and PS Ninja-Moves included - a bit more than usual. Coloured to sepia, sharpened and manually desaturated some elements from sepia.

Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills of California - Mount Whitney in the background. I took this image because it has a special significance - I'll be summiting Mount Whitney in mid-September. Wish me luck!

I recently revisited several older images with some new software and reprocessed them these are some of the images.

Here is the third and final version of my Mobius Arch. I boost the color on this one.

The Möbius band (aka Möbius strip) is an interesting mathematical object, a single-sided surface. This origami version is folded using my Cross Lap Unit (CLU) which allows two ends of a strip of paper to be connected using only folding, without any cuts of glue.

 

Over the years, I have designed several different ways of folding the Moebius Band, mostly using modular origami. You can see some of these models here.

 

To fold this model, use a strip with about 1:15 proportions and fold notches according to instructions here. Make two notches near each end of the strip, with mirrored notch direction. This will allow the notches to fit into each other when one end of the strip is twisted by 180°.

Okay, loads of folks have images of Mobius Arch, I do too...but it didn't stop me from taking this one and putting the 'antique' touch on it. Too nice a day to pass up the opportunity and the best part was there wasn't a line of people in the queue to get on it.

Exploring the Alabama Hills: I just returned from a week-long scouting trip in the Alabama Hills of Eastern California, where I will be conducting a starry "NightScape" workshop in April 2014 (we also will be doing a lot of daytime photography, as well ;-).

Well-wishes for your enjoyable Labor Day. As photographers, we labor for your enjoyment.

A headlamp led was used as fill for this photograph. I bumped up the contrast a bit in pp to enhance the light/dark in this shot.

Off to Little Lakes Valley this weekend for some R&R and maybe a foto or 2.

 

Best on black, if you have a moment, so click on the picture.

The first light of Alpine glow on Lone Pine Peak seen from Mobius Arch. Lone Pine Peak rises just under 13,000ft in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. I think that may be The Great Square of Pegasus in the upper left corner.

Mobius Arch is natural rock formation and is just one of several arches in the park.

 

A couple of more photos are here...

On a whim I checked for other shots of Mobius Arch on this morning and lo and behold I found this shot by Photosuze! You can't see much of me but I'm in the white coat with my face up to my camera. behind the guy in blue who is my friend Dali. My friend Alex is behind me. See not much room on that boulder.

modular Mobius strip from 43 squares of kami (7cm). Simple units, but quite a nice effect :)

Stoneware sculpture made in the 2010s by Japanese artist Shigematsu Ayumi. Her sculptures reflect her association with the avant-garde Sodeisha ceramic movement.

This beautifully constructed piece was seen during the Gallery Walk.

Lone Pine and Alabama Hills received about 2 inches of snow in January. I hear it has been 4 years since this area has received snow.

Another from a recent camping trip to the Alabama Hills...this arch has become quite a popular destination during the day, but we had it to ourselves for some nighttime shots...

- www.kevin-palmer.com - This bright aurora knot rose up over Donnelly Dome before midnight. The twisting shape reminded me of a möbius strip.

Trying to make the bast out of really bad lighting conditions. We found this arch at probably the worst time of day to photograph it, so about the only thing i could think to do is block the sun with the arch and try to get an exposure that was not a silhouette, which at least i did accomplish. no blending, no HDR, this is a single exposure.

The mobius strip has no beginning or end. Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip) explains it's properties wll and this site shows how it can be used to create an optical illusion.
