missed opportunity... kind of

manzico

I'm new to the forum, this is my first image post. Hope you like the shots.

So I wanted to get out and shoot some landscapes on Saturday and I decided to head over to Sabino Canyon just before sunset. As I started on my way I could see that the light was already really dramatic and the clouds over the mountains even more so. I knew I'd get some good shots. Then I started to get close to the canyon and I realized that the moon was rising. It was framed by some low clouds hovering over the mountain, and some high altitude clouds way up. The light was great and the shot was spectacular... except I wasn't anywhere near where I could get a good shot yet. I suppose I could have gotten the great sky, but a Walgreens doesn't really make that dramatic a foreground. So I booked over to the Canyon entrance, paid my fee and parked, ten I high tailed it down the path to get past the canyon entrance buildings. The moon was still rising and the clouds were moving to intercept. Needless to say I missed the spectacular shot I saw on my way in, but I still got some good shots (and even salvaged a couple of moon/cloud/mountain shots). Here are a few from Saturday:

#1: This is the closest to what I saw on my way in:


#2: Then I realized that IR was the way to go:

As always, CC are greatly appreciated.
