T-Storm threatening Tucson

On the way home last night just before sunset, I saw a potential thunderstorm coming in to Tucson from the southeast so I took a detour up to A Mountain (aka Sentinal Peak).  It's got such a pretty view of Tucson.  This image was taken with my Canon 70D and my new 18-250mm Sigma lens at 18mm focal length.  The exposure was 1/60 seconds at f/5, ISO 400 and it was the central image in a set of 5 shots that I turned into a panorama seen below.

This panorama was stitched together with Hugin Panorama Creator using essentially the default batch settings.

This image was taken later as a time exposure with an ND2 filter.  The exposure was 30 seconds at f/16, ISO 100 with my lens at 18mm focal length.  This image is looking southeast, not far from the direction of the first image above.  I wasn't thinking or I would have made another panorama, but I didn't take the other 4 images....

Moonrise over Tucson

I went up to A Mountain to watch a later moonrise over downtown Tucson tonight.  The clouds made for interesting skies.  In this first image, you can see the bright moon through the clouds and to its left is the planet Jupiter.  Downtown is at the left edge of the image.  This image was taken with my 50mm f/1.8 lens and an exposure of 6 seconds at f/11, ISO 1600.

This second image was taken with my 24mm f/1.8 lens and an exposure of 6 seconds at f/11, ISO 1600.

Zooming in on the downtown area shows the tallest buildings in Tucson.  This image was taken with my 75-300mm telephoto lens at 130mm focal length with an exposure of 3 seconds at f/11, ISO 1600.
