This photo was taken on a last minute trip to Sedona with Chandra. As we were driving the view progressively got better and better, I waited until just before what I thought would be the cusp of the perfect portion of the sunset, to which I was correct. We stopped the car just after exiting the freeway towards Sedona, and it was a most spectacular view indeed. Well worth the trip up there if I were to only be able to view this and turn around. Again, I have heard this area of the world referred to as having sunrises/sunsets “Where God paints the sky” and it is one of the most accurate phrases I have ever heard.
I implore everyone that may have the opportunity to go to Arizona, and just relax, enjoy the beauty that is there, or any place in the world for that matter, that you find to be special.
I miss the New Mexico sunsets, they were beyond words. Just like your picture
I love this. This type of sunset photo is exactly what I’ve been trying to capture and have not for a variety of reasons. Is this HDR?
This is not an HDR Steve… Not in the sense you are thinking anyway. I tried to do HDR but it was lackluster, so I simply layer masked the areas I liked with those I did not…
