Cathedral Rock is an icon of the American Southwest, and Sedona in particular. Most often shot at Red Rock Crossing with Oak Creek winding through the foreground, I wanted to include something a little different that could lend some scale and a sense of man into the overshot scene. A bit of digital work was required to retain detail in the dark foreground and the sunlit towers. It is the equivalent of placing a graduated neutral density filter over the camera lens, but with infinitely more control over the outcome.
