Sedona, AZ in the winter time

[xzyragon]

Drove out to Sedona to visit the family (again) for the holidays, and witnessed one of the largest snows Sedona has gotten in the past 10 years. I'm still going through a lot of the pictures, but here's the first couple i've pulled out.

Awesome! Single shot cropped or multiple overlapped?

Panoramas from my 7d + 55-250 telephoto. I get better resolution and less distortion from panoramas on my telephoto than on my wide angle.

I also attempted astro photography while i was up there. This was a "test shot" before I did a series of star trails. Makes me want to get a fast prime for this kind of stuff.

love the night shot. Skies are so clear up there.
Nothing like the red and white of a snowy Sedona tho. Enjoyable all in all.
