Hiking on Linda Vista Trail
Here are some pics I took from a hike a couple weeks ago on Linda Vista Trail in Tucson, AZ. Unfortunately the first half of the trail is heavily used by horses... but at least I got to see a gila monster.

These are very good, I love them.
The top shot and the sunset are my favorite, are these all taken at about dro +1 or +2?
And is that last one an hdr or one shot?
I dig the gila shot, don't see too many outdoor reptile shots. I see a fair amount of rattlers but of course it's kind of hard to get a good shot of a rattler as it generally flees immediately.
Thanks for sharing these!

Love the shots, br. Did you use any filters on the first two, by any chance?

Thanks for the kind words. I shot them all in RAW and adjusted the dynamic range in Image Data Converter manually. The first two pictures were taken with the kit lens and a polarizer. The gila monster picture was the best I could get before some other hikers scared him off. The sunset picture was a single shot and I took it with the Tamron 70-300 lens.
