So 4 AM came and I hit the road to take some great sunrise photos in Sedona, AZ. It hasn’t rained in this area in over 2 months, but of course the day I choose to make this side trip it decides to rain ALL day!!!

I shot anyway but didn’t nearly get what I wanted, not a single ray of sunshine was able to punch through the clouds! The colors are washed out and the contrast is horrible. I was using Velvia on the RZ67, so hopefully the colors from the rock and brush pop out a bit more. Shots from the D2X are posted below. These are unedited straight from the camera, maybe some Photoshop magic will bring them to life…
