Philip Scheetz Photography

Sedona is such a magical place!! I love the evening light here illuminating the water and Cathedral Rock.

Funny story... This shot looks like one that you would spend hours planning the exact time and day when the moon would rise above Cathedral Rock, but this wasn't planned at all -- in fact, I just stumbled upon the composition as I headed back to my car from the other viewpoint where I originally planned to shoot.

The moral of the story is don't be afraid to branch out, deviate from your original plan, and explore a bit! If I hadn't, I would have only gotten the photo I planned to make, but I ended up with 2 keepers instead of 1!
