Black and white pictures can be some of the best ways to showcase the Arizona terrain. Sometimes I will set out to capture images in black and white and timing is important. For a good black and white image I want good contrast and so I shoot these early in the morning or later in the evening as the sun is setting. I look for spots with good cross light to really pop the contrast in the mountains.
