A Quiet Corner

Here is another image from Arizona. This trip came after some involuntary downtime from photography. I went with a plan to practice some new things and break some old habits. The desert light provides many opportunities, especially to get re-inspired following the dreary midwestern winter. I feel like I accomplished what I set out to do.

This quiet corner appeared in an art plaza near downtown Sedona. It was a very enjoyable place for a few minutes of mid-morning sun. The walls kept away the sounds of the street, as did the murmuring of the sycamore leaves.

As you can tell, there is a lot of range of light in this scene. Yes, this is an HDR-processed image. Three images, with a bracket of +/- 1EV. Tone mapping was done in Photomatix Pro and final finishing in PS CS4
