Magic Light
I think this is the best photo of the trip. The sun is directly behind me, peeking through a small crack in the clouds - this cast a nice shadow on the clouds above Mount Ajo and some nice warm diffuse light on the saguaros and organ pipes below the peak. My friend Charlie and I hung out at this spot for over an hour waiting for this magic moment.
This is two landscape frames stitched. No HDR here, minimal color correction in Lightroom.
And for the view from the summit of Mt. Ajo, check out my Mount Ajo Summit Ridiculuorama!
