Thanks everyone for the replies!
Pezvela - I normally photograph with a Sony A900 or Sony NEX 7 camera, but I forgot to put my camera card back in my NEX 7 and I didn't bring my A900, so I had to resort to my Samsung S4 phone camera, which I admit takes very good photographs. I also run most of my photographs through Adobe Lightroom 4, to enhance them a little. My photo tips include trying to photograph during the first 2 hours of the day and the last 2 hours of the day and I like to use a polarizing filter when the sun is pretty harsh if you are photographing during mid day. Good luck on your journey through Arizona, it is a beautiful state.
