Photographing the Alabama Hills w/ the NEX7 & a Madoka 180 Lens

A quick side trip at dawn gave me the opportunity to play with the new Madoka 180 lens from Yasuhara via International Supplies in Los Angeles. We captured the famous arched rock in the Alabama Hills near Bishop, reputed to be, “One of the Earth’s Oldest Geological Formations.”
