When snow falls in Sedona, Arizona, it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Living there for five years was a gift, and, when it snowed, I was out there with my camera. This photograph was taken in 2003 at the bridge that crosses Dry Creek at Dry Creek Road. It had snowed the night before and, this day, the sun came out and lit the tree branches covered with snow. It seemed to lend itself to being processed in black and white so that the subtle shades of grey would blend with the stark white of the snow and the black in the shadows cast by the trees.

The photo was taken with a Canon EOS D60, EF17-40mm f/4L lens, 1/250 sec at f/9.5, ISO 200 on Lexar Digital Film and post-processed in Photoshop with the help of Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

Wow…stunning shot. I’ve been to Sedona a couple of times now and love it but never in the winter.
The black and white is really effective; distinctive textures with definite front, middle and background. I think this belongs in your gallery of really, really, beautiful black and whites.
Thanks Jenny. I really liked this photo a lot after working on it in black & white.
Sedona is so awesome. Great picture!
Thanks Brendon. Glad you like it.
Beautiful and appropriate on this cold CA morning! Thanks!
Thank you Susan. And it is cold this morning.
Very nice!
Thanks Jim. That means a lot to me coming from a Black & White expert like you are.
