Starlight Mobius

[Aaron Macomber]

This is my night shot through Mobius Arch on my Alabama Hills visit. This was pre-dawn, and you can detect faint whisps of the mily way through the center. This is a single shot at 3200 iso, f4.0, 30 sec. Thanks for looking

You got some nice atmospherics for your visit with clear skies. I like this result - neat view.

Nice view.

Very nice indeed Aaron! You sure scored with those stars, I like how you moved the composition again to get what looks more like a sawtooth with those rocky hills in the background.

I like the look of this, but when you get back home and have time, perhaps try a version for comparison where you select the arch and the ground and warm them up a little bit?

Nicely composed, what a beautiful scene through that frame...

 

[Leslie Hunter]

What a pretty view of the night sky.

 

[Kyle Jones]

I really like the touch of light on the arch. Nice photo.

Thanks Jim! I played around briely with doing just that, but at the time felt it contrary to the cool blue tones of night, I will definitey take a closer look later when I’m not editing in the back of my pickup

It's probably something you can play around with better when you get home. I know for my star shots I always adjust the WB on the ground layer separate from the sky. Sometimes it gets changed, sometimes it's left the same. But it's an exercise that I do every time just to compare, and it sounds like you have a similar habit. This is a great image either way I am thinking.
