Around the Country

Postby Splinter562 » Sat Aug 04, 2007 6:40 pm

I have just finished processing the pictures from my 16 day trip around the United States in a Piper Arrow! These were shot on a 35mm Cannon RebelX. Unfortunatly the "Develop to CD" prints are very grainy. At some point I may just scan in the actual prints which are clearer. The following are some of my favorite pictures from the trip:


Alamogordo, New Mexico

Image




San Jacinto Peak, California

Image




Tuolumne River Valley, California

Image




Castle Crags, California

Image




Deep in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

Image




Dayton, Ohio

Image




Waiting in Savannah, Georgia

Image




The Last Sunset, Florida

Image




The following links are to a Flickr account I created for this trip. While flying I marked the location of almost all of the shots on the charts so I was able to go back and (painstakingly) identify where each shot was taken, approximately when it was taken, and what was in it:

Sounds like a great trip.  How many hours did you get in the 16 days? 8-)

The total time for the trip was 51.5 hours. The good news is I won't have to do any time building now when I get around to doing my commercial.
