Another shot of the beautiful Cathedral Rocks from Sedona, Arizona. I took this shot after we left from the Crescent Moon Picnic Area and on our drive up to Page AZ. We came across this location totally by accident, but that didn’t take away how stunning the view was. I saw the amazing afterglow of the sunset and then saw this tree perfectly framing the rocks far away. So assembled my gear fast and positioned myself right behind the tree and user a wide-angle lens and HDR to get best dynamic range possible.

This is a 15 shot stitch panorama made real fast before I lost the light. Hope you all like it.

Took this shot while we were actually driving back from crescent moon picnic area. I noticed this beautiful glow in the sky after sunset. So when we came across a scenic view area I pulled over and realized there was a beautiful panoramic view of the famed cathedral rocks area.

Since I had all my gear out anyway I tried to stitch together a panorama shot. It was a bit hard as the light was fading fast and I had to do all my setting up real fast and churn the shots out quickly. This can be a problem with D800 as it takes time to “think” sometimes and take ups a lot to time writing an image to the cf card once its buffer is full. In spite of all that the shot came out good and I was really happy how it looked on my monitor. Hope you all like it, thanks for visiting my stream.

Sedona, Arizona has often been associated with spiritual energy and other benefits of the supernatural realm, that’s a bit above my capability to understand. What attracted me to Sedona was the desert landscape and the amazing sunsets that happens routinely here. So, when we decided to make a trip to Sedona, I wanted to cover the Cathedral Rock from as many viewpoints as possible.

Most of the viewpoint is located near the crescent moon ranch but the best photo from the trip came from a roadside pullout. We were late getting to a viewpoint and en-route I saw a good view of the Cathedral Rocks and I decided to opt for the roadside pullout rather than the planned viewpoint. The decision was driven by some of the best light that I have seen in a while. The foreground was a bit busy, but I believe the subject and the light more than made up for it.
