From one desert to the next, our next stop is the beautiful Saguaro National Park just outside of Tucson, Arizona. Home to the iconic Saguaro cactus, where they thrive in this high desert climate. My favorite activity in this park was trying to find different ways to shoot these giant cactus in the rising and setting sun. And I came away with the conclusion that there are endless ways to photograph them Saguaro National Park (16 of 59) Shot with FUJIFILM X-T1 and XF16-55mm F2.8 lens Photo by @jonathan_irish // Photographer and former Nat Geo staffer Jonathan Irish (@jonathan_irish) is on an epic road trip to visit and create incredible content in all of the 59 U.S. National Parks in 52 weeks during the centennial of the National Park Service.
