Photo Caption: I’m missing being under the stars… and I know, many are still getting outside but I felt that I wouldn’t be setting a good example in today’s trying times by running around and no staying home. So I’m on my couch making masks for our healthcare workers- check them out @masksandheroes! What are you doing to keep busy?

I caught a flight back to LA from Portland on Sunday, grabbed my girl @XO_Anhie and took off to Mammoth Lakes, CA. Original plan was to backpack into the mountains to hit some glacial lakes, but because of weather and my health, Anh and I decided to detour to Lone Pine where it would be clear &much warmer instead.

We hit 3 hot springs in Mammoth before we headed down, &then got side tracked by an arch I hadn’t seen before in AH.. It was getting dark so we found a spot to camp & settled in for a nap. We didn’t sleep very much because the wind decided to kick up like a banshee; we were worried to leave the tent when we left to shoot so we tied rocks to it &prayed for the best.

We got to Mobius arch for my 1st night shoot there ever (after hitting the 1st arch for a bit) around 1 am & JUST missed the light of the moon on the foreground. Lucky for us, no one was there! I had some time before the sky darkened so I set up the tracker Slik had sent me to test out. I used the large peep hole to find Polaris, & then fine tuned using a laser ( thank you @drdarius7) through the small peep hole. It was actually pretty quick but this was my 3rd time trying. Foreground I lit using 2 Lumecube.com (use code TRACYLEE for free US Shipping)
