I drove up to a lookout today at the summit of a mountain here in southern Arizona, and took some photographs. This was one of my first outings focused on photography, so give me whatever tips you can! Make the next one better.

The view was beautiful, but I don't think I was quite able to capture the scope of it all. I was having a hard time with lighting, as you can see in some of these where the sun is breaking.

I'm also becoming a bit more proficcient on Photoshop, so if you think there's anything I can do there, that'd be nice too.

That's not what I intended this to be! :P I guess you guys get enough "Make me a better photographer" posts, though.

Stop down a little bit for more DOF. You know what they say, sunsets, F/8 and being there, etc.

Position the mountains a little higher up the frame.
