Jhaz > Twin Peaks Lightning in Blue Multiple lightning strikes during a very active thundershower over the Tucson Mountains. The white balance of this picture has been adjusted to provide a bluish result, similar to what some film cameras produce (just playing here). The picture was taken from Marana, Arizona, looking south towards Twin Peaks on August 6, 2005. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 45mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 6 second exposure.
Jhaz > The Saguaros are Watching Note: the final print will not be this bright. The picture has been adjusted to yield the best print results versus the best results for a monitor. The final picture will look like this (assuming your monitor is properly adjusted).This picture makes an excellent 16" x 20" print. If the picture will be behind glass, I recommend a matte print. For an 8" x 10" print, there is a 1/16" white border. For a 16" x 20" print, there is a 1/8" white border. There are no markings on the print. When purchasing, make sure to select "true" for color and "no crop" for crop.Prints are purchased through SmugMug.com and will be printed by EZPrints. My experience is that prints will arrive within about 5 business days for Express shipping and 16" x 20" prints are shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube.

Jhaz > The Saguaros are Watching A lightning strike during a heavy thundershower silhouettes a number of saguaro cacti near Saguaro National Park west on June 23, 2005. This was near the end of a great day of taking lightning pictures. Numerous thundershowers were active all around me and kept re-forming in the same places, making it easy to take pictures! This storm was the third to form to my west and was the only storm to survive the trip across a broad valley to where I was. This picture was taken from inside a vehicle and it's pure luck that it came out at all. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 28mm, ISO 100, f/10.0, 3 second exposure.
Jhaz > Saguaro in Solitude A great Arizona Sunset early in the monsoon. Debris clouds and orphan anvils from the day's thunderstorms catch the light of the setting sun. Taken from northwest Tucson on July 23, 2003. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/2.5, 1/50 second exposure.
Jhaz > Dove Mountain Sunset Just barely caught this picture--it was one of the first I took after setting up my camera. Taken in the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains, west of Dove Mountain on July 30, 2004. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/7.1, 1/60 second exposure.
Jhaz > Red Rock Sunset Thundershowers over the Casa Grande area produced some great anvils that are catching the sunset in this picture. Red Rock and the Picacho Mountains are in the foreground. The picture was taken September 8, 2003. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/8.0, 1/6 second exposure.
Jhaz > Golf-Tee Thundershower This picture was taken late in the monsoon, as it was winding down for the year. The thundershower built rapidly over the Tucson Mountains as the sun was setting. However, the upper level steering winds were very weak, which is why it has such a symmetrical shape. This picture was taken from northwest Tucson looking south towards the Tucson Mountains on August 28, 2003. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/5.6, 1/8 second exposure.
Jhaz > Marana Lightning Composition 2 Two pictures, taken within a minute of each other, have been combined to produce the effect of a longer exposure for this very active storm. This thundershower occurred during what would normally be a very dry time of year, many weeks before the monsoon would even start. Taken from the southwestern foothills of the Tortolita Mountains on May 28, 2005. Each picture: Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 75mm, ISO 200, and f/9. One picture is a two second exposure and the other a seven second exposure.
