April 24 - South Mountain Park / Phoenix

I'm in Scottsdale for business, but being on a business trip doesn't mean you can't have a little fun while you're in the area! So I hauled a few bits of my camera bag and a tripod along with me and made a quick trip down towards the South end of Phoenix to watch the sun set. There's a mountain park there with several observation areas. I got there slightly too late to watch the sun set, but there were some good colors left on the horizon long afterwards.

This is a stitched image from three negatives taken with a tilt /shift lens (and looking at it closely, it looks like one of the seams are showing, so I'll have to go back and do some more work!).


After it got darker, the color wasn't as interesting, so I developed this picture as a black and white. This is the small building at the observation area.
