Photographing Remote Arches at Sunrise in the Alabama Hills (Owens Valley Adventure, Part 3)

[@robertbutler5058]

Where have you been all my life??? Finally, a real photographer that knows how to deliver material and priceless content, who doesn't pretend to be the second coming. Make it fun, keep it light, but still get the message across. Your videos are priceless. And your techniques are spot on. Thanks so much .

[@frankf9233]

Always fun watching you work the scene. What a great spot you found out there. Nobody around and you get to enjoy the area and your photography.

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 5 days in the Eastern Sierra in 2018. Can’t wait to get back.

Great series, great adventure!

[@michaeltrue]

I enjoy your genuine approach to your videos, photography and getting out in the back country. Enjoy!

[@jordancook1668]

There are no truly bad days in the eastern Sierra. Love your videos and your work man.

Great watch in this series. We must visit your gallery when visiting Lone Pine and the surrounding area later this year in Sept/Oct.

Incredible effort. Thanks, Joshua.

And I thought it only happened to me when it seems everything goes wrong in the field...just when it needs to come together. Hey, great attitude about moving forward, learning from the disappointment and planning for the next opportunity. There will be another sunrise or storm...the arch will still be there...stay positive!

[@josephus626]

I am sorry for skipping the first ad. It won't happen again. Your videos are priceless and you deserve more views.

Love the B&W...Ansel would have been jealous!!

[@mattorrz759]

A flippy Mcflip flip screen would have been handy there. 😂 Great vid and image mate 🤙

[@michaelgoulding4425]

Great stuff Josh. While not what you were hoping for, delighted you managed to get a killer shot. Once again hats off to your focus and determination, it's clear from your images that all that extra effort really pays off. Cheers 👍

I liked the first photo also with the sun stars. I scanned your equipment list to see if you added a telescoping ladder, carbon fiber of course. :)

[@juanitakelly3082]

Wow, that was really different and interesting! Not many will every get those shots! I loved your effort and love the B&W!

[@klausschleicher523]

Too bad you did not get the conditions you hoped for. But now you a reason to come back. ;-) Was nice to see climbing up to your camera. Fortunately you have long leg, I have to bring a ladder :-)

[@GusMcCrae01]

Nice. So, around what date were you here for this 3 part vid series?

[@FelixJorgenfelt]

Too bad you didn't get the light you wanted. But if we look at it from the bright side, it gives you a reason to get back to that beautiful location soon again.

[@eddy0083]

The Whitney Portal Arch is real close to the location of that one, maybe give that one a shot eh?

[@pauloricardoferreira2841]

It looks that you're such a resilient guy. Do you really keep this good humor in these situations?! I'd have thrown my camera or cell phone away! At least you have long legs and you're in good shape to stretch your legs to climb those boulders to see what was happening in the camera screen.

[@timothykieper]

Did you consider just hovering the drone to take the photo ?

[@kpmathis71]

I generally enjoy your videos, often with kids in the room - usually educational & fun. The surprise cursing makes this problematic. I work in technology so I totally understand the frustration of that moment: a BEEP or just masking that bit of audio would have made this a great video.

[@pbsalfen]

If every shot worked out, for everybody, we'd ALL be out there shooting. Right? Love your dedication and tenacity! Wish I lived that close to the Sierra's and the Mojave! (Significant Smother wants to move to Minnesota. (WTF?) The only thing I could say to her was, "Knock yourself out.")

[@westenbergerstephan5955]

too sad it didn`t work out... but at the end - that's the game. Sometimes you loose, sometimes you win. :-)
