Photography/Arizona Landscapes/Pat Schilling Photography

I was raised in Arizona, although my pursuit of photography had only begun by the time I moved away. I return every year or so to visit family in Phoenix., and try to work in a photo stop or two. But with the great distance from my home in Spokane, and the usually limited time there, it's hard to fit in much shooting. That said, my desert blood always draws me back to Arizona, where I really feel at home with my camera. So, I'm always in conflict! :-) Such is life!!

The first two thumbnails will take you to other pages. Sedona and Monument Valley are two of my favorite places to shoot in Arizona, and thus each deserve their own page. And, while the Grand Canyon is magnificent, and provides many photo opportunities,. I generally avoid it because of the crowds, so you'll only see a few images.

Horseshoe Bend

#AZ-114

This view will take your breath away!. As you approach the ledge, the vastness kind of creeps up on you, and then you suddenly come to this shear drop-off. To take it all in, photographically, you need a really wide angle lens, probably 21mm or wider. (19mm here.)

Yavapai Morning
#AZ-102

One of those mornings at the Grand Canyon, when the horizon was obscured with clouds. Your hope is for the Sun to break through , if only for a few moments. As I faced East at Yavapai Point, that moment came. I turned to the West, to see this magnificent glow from the Canyon. My shutter, and a host of others', clicked away for a short time. Moments later, I turn back to the East as the clouds smothered the Sun. Timing is everything!!
