Photos Arizona

Just got home last night from a small trip out to Phoenix, AZ. Weather conditions were good (considering) but unfortunately I wasn't able to go out during the golden hours for any landscapes so I was forced to make the best out of horrible mid-day sun.

Did you use a polarized filter for any of those shots? The blue sky is incredible for "horrible mid-day sun". I particularly like the second one - even though it's not really a picture of anything, it's interesting to look at. I like the way the lake just barely peeks out to offer some contrast.

 

Nope, No CPL...all PS.

 

I think the Madonna and Child and the first landscape shot are the best.

I think the last shot is onto something but I would have liked it much better if the branches were utmost foreground taking a lot more domain.

It's a pleasure to see you venturing into landscape photography as well

 

sweet
the 1st and the last are my favs
the lizard could use some more DOF, other than that its great

 

Thanks, OleJ...but I still hate shooting landscapes though.

 

Thanks, Buddy As for the lizard the background was very busy so I felt the need to open up a bit to get rid of it (IIRC f/8)...I do agree the lizard itself could use a bit more DOF.
