A fluffy blanket of clouds made it hopeful for a colorful sunrise, but it never came to be. This was the beginning of a very stormy day complete with a late-day dust storm.
Late afternoon at Fossil Creek near Camp Verde, Arizona. This popular location hosts many outdoor enthusiasts like birders, fisherman, swimmers, picnicers and sun worshippers.
This sunset at Lake Pleasant was the first one I shot with my new Sigma 10-20 lens. I turned the camera in portrait orientation and did a 6-frame, HDR panorama. I couldn't have been any happier with the results and shoot this same way most of the time now. So often, it is the entire landscape that puts my mouth agape. I love the ability to photograph from side-to-side and also get from my shoestrings to high overhead. It's the way I see my world and the best way by far to capture it.
