Large Format Landscapes

[Steven Ruttenberg]

Thanks! Perhaps a bit of "grass is greener" syndrome, but I just love AZ in the summer! The heat, in my opinion, is no big deal - compared to south GA / FL heat + humidity. And with the lack of humidity, a polarizer really brings down the sky nicely in AZ, at least in my limited experience, whereas sometimes even a polarizer + R25 filter doesn't do much here. The sky is slightly burned in above. I only wish I had some big puffy clouds but that's uncommon in the winter, and unfortunately the airplanes from JAX to ATL always make contrails around this island. At least it's not a flat blank sky as is typical.

I love the heat too, lived here since 1974 except for my enlistments in the Marines and some traveling due to work. If your ever this way, look me up. I'm gonna be heading to the Grand Canyon again this month I think. And then try my hand at some places like White Pocket and 1 or 2 slot Canyons. 1 gets as narrow as like 3-6 foot I hear. Sky looks good, doesn't take away from the subject of the tree.

Definitely. I hope I will be taking another trip there later this year for a conference, and spending some time with relatives. My aunt and uncle live way down past Senoita near the border, in the Coronado National Monument. Some wonderful, lesser-known landscapes down that way.

Another reminder that I am neglecting my back yard.

I totally forgot to tell you that I was not able to find your bag. Following your trail made for a nice drive. No pictures except those in my head.

With 90 mm focal lenght it is most likely 4x5
