Photographing the Alabama Hills at Sunrise (Day 1) | Desert Landscape Photography w/ Canon 5DSR | 4K

On my first day at the Alabama Hills high desert, I woke up before dawn to hike to an overlook for sunrise. Hoping to get a clear view of the Mt. Whitney, Lone Pine peak, and all of the other snow capped mountains, I was a bit disappointed to see strong storms rolling in and covering much of the mountains.

Somewhere in the back of my mind though, I thought that just maybe some early morning light might creep in underneath the storms and make the mountains and storm clouds glow. I decided to stick around and, despite the strong winds blowing down off the Sierra mountains, set up my 5DSR, and took some photos through golden hour.

I hope you enjoy this first day video of my Jeep-camping road trip to the Alabama Hills! Make sure to stay tuned to the very end for the reveal of two panoramas from sunrise. Also, subscribe to the channel so you don't miss Part 2 of the trip! The weather conditions were different, but in the high desert, no sunrise is a bad sunrise!
