When: Winter, 2010

Location: Sedona, Arizona

Technical: Nikon D3100, 18MM Lens, F11, ISO 250. Exposure 1/500th of a second. Free hand shooting (no tripod). Image captured at 2:38PM.

Photo Backstory: My wife and I went up to visit her parents in Arizona and decided to take a 2 day trip up to Sedona. This was my first time visiting Sedona and it was an amazing trip. This shot was taken from the lower bell curve from Bell Rock. We had hiked up to check out the amazing view and take some photos. The clouds in the sky are thunderheads and about 15 minutes after I snapped these two shots we got heavy thunder, lightening an rain! Recently I started reviewing some older shots and found that I had taken these two shots (side by side) and stitched them together in Light Room 6. LR6 does such an amazing job stitching panoramic photos together that no post editing was required. Sedona is one of those places filled with beautiful rock formations, buttes, cliffs, caves, etc. You could spend weeks exploring Sedona and never see all of it.
