Landscape Photography | Desert Compositions

In this video I go through my process of selecting compositions at sunset in the Arizona desert, and also talk about giving yourself enough time to find one or two more compositions in case light and colors change.

Great looking shots Mike. Colors and Composition were killer and not overly processed either. It's nice to see other new photographers way of working. I like your style, you don't over do the b-roll and talk all the time about other stuff that doesn't pertain to photography. 😀👍🏻👍🏻

Mike, I think your shots are fantastic. Great balance without unrealistic over processing. I live and have lived in Tucson for 48 years and struggle sometimes with my inspirations in the desert; the desert sometimes presents too many distracting elements compositionally. Unlike so many other channels that are in green or ocean locations your focus on desert photography helps me greatly. Please keep going. I unfortunately was replacing my focus screen the other day and dropped a screw into my 5d iii. I am hoping I can fix it soon before all the beautiful spring flowers disappear.

Nice Subject to shoot for sure.. I had some of my shots from Arizona placed in Leather and in Old Wooden Frames. Turned out nice, but it was a $60.00 dollars shots! I still have a great collection of those Jumping Chollas and other dessert trees.. Great Hobby for sure! Michael.

Love the portrait and landscape shots with the Superstition rock formation in the background! 🏆🏆🏆
I just now realized, you didn't even use a filter for your shots.

Good work Mike. I have family that grew up in Tucson. They, (cousins of my age), were always complaining about how they wanted to get out of there. Now I tell them how lucky they are to live in such a beautiful state, and they're like....WTF? LOL.

Hello Mike, Superb images especially the rim lighting around the Cacti...

Our yard was totally golden this year. Was so beautiful coming home from our Asia trip this year. The flower drop had our yard gold, the trees were a great mix of gold and green. Too bad that just like the Cherry blossom in Asia it only lasts a few days at it's peak.
