I am going to be in the Phoenix area in May (specificaly 15th to 23rd) with my 8x10 and 4x5. Any tips on shooting in the desert or good locations/times would be greatly appreciated. I have only been in the area once before and spent most of my time on the golf course but I did get out on horseback one day with the 35mm and managed to get some decent images. Which brings me to my next question, what is the best way to travel the countryside with a couple of big cameras. I like the horse idea but it's impractical for short visits. I saw lots of different kinds of ATV's and that might be the best way to go but I don't know the regulations in the area parks etc.
