This picture I took over Phoenix 2 weeks ago at 12,500 ft, we flew over
the
Phoenix class B and started our decent about 20 miles out at 500 fpm on

the far
side of Phoenix..

There is allot less color to see on this side of the country.
We use an the Olympus E-10 digital camera for pictures.


One thing I've found makes a HUGE difference with digital photography is to
NOT get the wing in the picture. My digital autofocus usually locks onto the
wing, and makes everything else in the background (which is what you're
aiming at!) look fuzzy.

Also, Photoshop does a much better job of adjusting color, brightness and
contrast if you don't have a big, white wing in the picture.
