I was watching the weather and it was suppose to be partly cloudy after some winter rains had swept through, but by the time I got out the partly had gone away and it was straight up cloudy. I figured it might clear up as the day progressed so I decided to head up to Gates Pass, west of town (Tucson) and hike up into the hills a bit. As I hiked up it was still completely overcast so I decided to shoot some cactus details as the soft box effect of a cloudy day always helps that kind of thing. Just as I was finishing my first shot (had to focus stack it), the sun started to peak out and we were off to the races. Here's the first shot:

With the sun out, I had to refocus my attention (pun intended).

There are quite a few more from that day. I may put up another post as I work my way through them.

Thanks,

Dave

Number 4 is by far my favorite. I like the horizontal layers, the god's rays a bit off center, the subtle colors, sunset light hitting the mountains, and the overall soft feeling.

Thanks for the comments! Hopefully this next weather system will bring drama my way again.
