Sedona, Arizona – Part 3

This is a continuation of my early morning shoot at Cathedral Rock, near Sedona, Arizona.

After the very brief golden “hour” at Cathedral Rock, I began to work my way back towards the trail and look for other photographic subjects.

Agave Monochrome

There were numerous Agave around, so I made numerous images of those, converting this one to monochrome.

Curly Grass

And scattered clumps of grass with curly blades.

Early Morning Arizona Sky

Just after the sun’s brief appearance, the cloud cover became heavier and obscured the sun.  There were interesting rock features across the valley, so I used those as fore and middle ground to capture those magnificent clouds in the sky.

There were a few ocotillo with vibrant greenery and other trees in the area.  I used those as foreground with Cathedral Rock in the background.  This required focus stacking images to get good depth of field.
