Phoenix is known worldwide for its beautiful sunsets. As local photographers know, there are a number of great spots in and around Phoenix where you can take beautiful sunset shots. Below I'll list the top 5.

1) Squaw Peak Park, which is also called Piestewa Peak Park, is in the centre of Phoenix. It has a number of great locations from which to shoot spectacular sunsets. You need not go to the top of the peaks to get the best shots however. There are a number of trails around the park that provide good vistas for taking great pictures. You can walk around the park easily without the hindrance of structures invading the frame of your shots.

2) If you prefer an urban setting, then you can get great views from the Mill Avenue Bridge in downtown Tempe. The views from this bridge are not totally devoid of urban structures, but they are still an excellent source of pictures. There is one Mill Avenue bridge that carries northbound traffic and there is one that carries southbound traffic. The perspective from the northbound bridge overlooking the other bridge will give you a great view of the sunset in the backdrop. You might even catch a glimpse of a train or a plane in the background. You can park near the Marquee club, further to the north from both of the bridges. You will also find a lot of free parking space near the lake. From there, you can easily walk up to the bridge.

3) If you would like to stay in a resort for a great sunset view, the Four Seasons Resort, located 1000 feet above downtown Phoenix, is the place to be. The view of the city below, and of Pinnacle Peak in the background, would make a great shot from the resort. The Hermosa Inn is also a great place to get a good sunset view. You can sit on the patio, surrounded by mountains and the desert, and get a great view of the setting sun.

4) Camelback Mountain and South Mountain are also prime locations for adventurous photographers. Camelback Mountain is a wonderful geological feature that must be included in any sunset scenery. You can best find this unique Phoenix wonder down near Echo Trail, at its base. You can also get sunset views from the country's biggest municipal park, the South Mountain Preserve, which has more than 17,000 acres. Arizona Grand Resort has rides that cost $65 a person, which will take you towards the setting sun over South Mountain.

5) Piestewa Peak has a number of picnic areas that are great spots to catch a glimpse of a beautiful sunset. Located in the Dreamy Draw area, these are some of the most beautiful mountains in Arizona. Piestewa Peak is always a contender for the best sunset locations in the valley.

Travel Tips - Taking your Camera On a Vacation With You

Don't you like going through your vacations photos? We all take pictures when we go on a vacation. It is a great way to perpetuate the experience and remember it for years to come. However sometimes taking pictures is not smooth. Unexpected problems pop up such as running out of film, running out of battery or just forgetting the camera in the hotel. In this article we will provide a few easy to follow tips that will help you in carrying your camera and taking pictures.

The first decision when taking a camera with you on a trip is which camera to take. One of the common mistakes people do when traveling is taking a camera that does not fit their needs. For example they take a high end heavy camera just to leave it in the hotel room since it is too hard to carry with them. It is important to take the right camera for the trip. For example if you are going to be walking a lot or trekking it is better to have a lighter weight smaller camera. If you are going to be driving a lot you can take heavier equipment and more accessories. You should also match the camera to the destination and to your photography level. If your goal is to capture memories a cheap small camera is more than enough. If your goal is to take high quality photos for future enlargements a professional high resolution camera is adequate.

Carrying the camera and its accessories is much easier with the right carrying bag. Most people are tempted to buy a bag specifically designed for their camera. These bags are easier to use and have the right compartments for the various accessories but they have a big drawback: they can draw the attention of a thief who is lurking for tourists. It is better to use a normal bag such as a backpack that does not look new or like a bag that holds an expensive camera.

Digital cameras have many accessories some are optional and some are not. It is a good idea to make a checklist and use it when packing for a vacation. Make sure that you take the battery charger, the right adaptors for the power outlets in your destination, lenses, memory cards and more.

Two very important things to remember when traveling are batteries and memory. Always carry a fully charged spare battery with you. One of the worst experiences is running out of batteries just before a great photo opportunity shows up. Charge both batteries at least every night when getting back to your hotel. Even if you did not take many photos that day and you think the batteries have enough power in them it is better to make sure by fully charging them rather than to take the risk. Also remember that batteries slowly lose their power even when not used so always recharge your spare battery too even if it was not used.

The equivalent of running out of film in old cameras is running out of memory in digital cameras. Make sure that you are taking enough memory cards for the whole trip. Unless you have a laptop with you to dump the photos to you will need the memory to last the whole trip. Try to guess how many photos you will take daily and then get enough memory to hold double that number. Remember that with digital cameras it is easy to take many pictures. It is better to take a few smaller capacity memory cards than one high capacity card. When a card is full you can leave it in your luggage in the hotel room. If worst happens and you lose your camera with the memory card in it you will at least have some memories in a safe place.

If you are an experienced photographer and want to take a tripod with you it is important to find the right compromise between a good tripod and carrying ease. If the tripod is too bulky and heavy you will end up leaving it in your hotel. You can also decide to carry two tripods a miniature one for when walking or trekking and a heavier one when driving around and stopping for photo opportunities.

Taking pictures when traveling is a great way to capture memories. When you get back home dump the photos to your desktop computer make backups and enjoy them for the rest of your life.

Can I swap my battery between my digital camera & my cell phone?

My cell phone has a rechargeable battery, and so does my digital camera. Could I use either battery in both of these items? I was thinking I might carry my cam battery along as a spare for my cell.
Okay. I hoped the battery was a standardized size and voltage. : (

Only if they are both the same voltage and of course fit.
