This shot was part of a recent film set and I can never resist photographing my favorite rock. Not sure B&W does it justice but it was a dark and stormy day.
Bell Rock and TriX
Arizona
Storm over Bell Rock
I spent a few days in the Sedona area earlier this week and found time to photograph my favorite rock.
Bell Rock Light
Bell Rock may be the place I have photographed the most. Every time I visit Sedona I spend a little time there. This morning brought clear skies and very cold temperatures. The goal was to catch the slanting light with the rock in the background.
Inspiration
The photo speaks for itself.
Storm Brewing
Chapel of the Holy Cross
Built in 1956 the chapel is beautiful at any time of the day or year. This shot was taken as the sun cleared the mountains to the east.
Jerome and Red Rocks
I was in Jerome watching a storm blow in when the light hit the red rocks in Sedona which is about 40 miles north. The rocks in the left half of this photo are the rocks in my header photo. The large red buildings in the lower right was the high school I attended many years ago. It’s been converted to an art gallery now.
Good Morning Bell Rock
Having grown up in Sedona and with family still living in the area I get there often. I always devote one morning watching the sun rise on Bell Rock.
Midgley Bridge
After returning from Kauai I spent a few days in Sedona visiting family. I’ve driven over Midgely Bridge many times coming and going through Oak Creek Canyon but never stopped to photograph it. One reason is there is a small parking lot to the left of this shot that it always full of cars and hikers plus a never ending stream of cars crossing the bridge making a “clean” shot difficult. However, early morning on the day after Thanksgiving the place was deserted and I got what I wanted.
Happy Halloween
This was taken a couple of weeks ago while in Arizona. This is on the Verde River in Cottonwood. Wanted to save it for tonight.
