Hey All,

I got a chance to shoot some AP from my inlaws house this weekend at the East end of South Mountain in Phoenix Arizona. The winds were pretty rough from the South at about 10-12mph. Shot my poor ol' SS wayyyyyy up there (1001ft acording to the Z-Log). I shot a bunch of picts of the area. I'll try to post some individual shots later. I did manage to put together about a 5 shot spread of South Mountain (looking West), resized to post here so the quality is greatly diminished. The range runs West to East, I was flying from the East end. I may just have to print this one out.

Mmmmmm nice...

Any chance of posting a bigger version?

On one half of the picture you see a harsh desert landscape, and on the other half there is a quiet suburb. This contrast is what I like about this picture.

Hey Phil,

I will post a bigger one sometime tomorrow.... just for you.

South Mountian is the largest municipal park in the world. It is owned by the City of Phoenix and there is a road to the top from S. Phoenix where you can see the entire Metro Phoenix area. Its a Megaplex these days! There are 200 miles of foot and Bike trails which snake through the natural desert of the park. Cacti abound! I know because I have hiked the entire mountian several times. If you ever get to Phoenix a drive up to Dobbins point is a must as well as a trek into the wild desert. Just do it in the winter and watch out for Rattle Snakes.

I live about 5 miles ESE of the picture's location. Great pic Qual!

Very nice shot Qual.
Is it a composite photo or have you cropped from a larger image? I'd like to see it in higher res. too

Thanks Mike!!

Thanks Johnnz!

It is comprised of 5 images stitched together with Autostitch, then cleaned up with Photoshop.

I will get a higher res version up tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
