Sedona Sunset

JTHphoto · Oct 8, 2006

I spent most of yesterday in Flagstaff shooting some fall colors, but decided to stop by Sedona on the way home for a few sunset photos at Cathedral Rock.

1. Cathedral Rock, Sunset

2. Cathedral Rock & Reflection, Twilight

3. Tried to salvage this one, but still not sure about it. I'm thinking a split or graduated ND filter would have helped...

Cathedral Rock & Oak Creek

The first picture acts as a perfect 'tester' to the second. The reflection in the puddle is just the cherry on top of the first

Living even close to these beautiful landscapes must be amazing.

"Cherry on the top" is just the right expression for what the reflection in the puddle does to the second photo. I saw the first and thought wow, then came the second and my WOW became bigger and bigger!!! Very WOW.

But also the little splash of orange colour in the water in the third is nice!!! Well seen and captured!!

Thanks Ray, I intended to go to the same spot, but I think it was under water, as I obviously walked right by it and didn't recognize it. A lot changes in 8 months i guess. These were taken probably 1/4 mile or so upstream.
