Meet me at the Y

[Chris Dodkin]

The gateway to Red Rock Country, where AZ Route 89A meets AZ Route 179 in downtown Sedona - known to the locals as 'The Y'.

[Darren Bradnock]

Nice, love the colors.

 

[Barry Keavney]

Nice shot Chris...But they appear to be going the wrong way around the roundabout...or rotary?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Barry - the roundabouts are new here, and the locals have no idea how to use them!

The number of near misses is crazy - I should have shot a time-lapse video

 

[Barry Keavney]

Can't say I'm surprised...Look at that backdrop!? It's amazing! And very well captured.

 

[Brian Moore]

Really nice shot, Chris. Was the sky that light at the time?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

looked darker to the eye, but the 20 sec exposure gave it some real light and color

 

[Darren Bradley]

Love the colors. Truly magical. I would have liked to see the framing with the entire roundabout in the foreground, though, instead of cut off.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Mmmm, didn't think of that for some reason - maybe when I'm next there

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Just revisited the image as a silver toned B&W - what do you think?

 

[Brian Moore]

Nice. But personally I prefer the color one I think.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I much prefer the mono!

 

[Pete Askew]

Mono for me too!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Isn't it funny how things like this can split opinion!
Says a lot I think about what's "right" and "wrong"
The mono is just a more interesting shot in my opinion, I think ita because it's a break from what you might expect from a shot like this??
