New camera, new mountain for me

This weekend I took my new Canon S5 out for a very short spin. I was out and about and stopped by the Phoenix Mountain Park, both at Dreamy Draw and at the Squaw Peak trailhead.




The next three are of Piestewa (AKA Squaw) Peak, taken from the parking lot just north of the trailhead. The first is with no zoom at all.

The next one is of the peak, using the zoom. See the saguaros on the ridgeline? The next photo focuses specifically just below that area.

The last is a full 48X optical plus digital zoom. I wasn't using a tripod, either, and the image through the viewfinder was shaking all over the place.
