Reported aircraft: Cessna 172 — a different aircraft that carried the N5154E registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's improper in-flight planning/decision, and his failure to ensure that adequate airspeed would be maintained, while maneuvering at low altitude to photograph a residence. The rising terrain and lack of altitude were related factors.
