I thought it would be a really cool idea to capture the stars motion looking at the Estrella Mountains. So I took a few hours of my evening, and took around 285, 30 second long exposures of three frames of the view. I stacked all the frames together, did some minor spot cleaning in areas, and put them all together in a panoramic view.

I took this photo along the Valley View Overlook Trail in Saguaro National Park. I was inspired by how powerful the saguaros looked overlooking Tucson. Saguaros are a source of pride for the Tucson community, and I wanted to give them the attention they deserve.

I took this photo while walking along the Desert Loop Trail at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. As an out of state student from the east coast, part of what brought me to Arizona was the unique and other-worldly landscapes. For me, this picture symbolizes what I love about Arizona and inspires me to continue capturing this beautiful state with photography.
