my cross country trip (maine to arizona)..lots of pics!

so i recently took a quick XC trip back to school from maine to arizona, and wasnt sure where to post the pics. upon realizing that i did so in my 2nd gen, i figured this was as good a place as any. unfortunately, i didnt really start taking pics until around South Dakota, but i feel like the ones i did take came out pretty well. let me know what you think!

heres the (slightly longer than normal) route across America. wanted to stop a few places, ended up in chicago, mount rushmore, denver, moab, UT, and the grand canyon.


a view, taken while driving, of about half the chicago skyline.


heres the taco loaded down in keystone, SD.


was a but unhappy that i didnt have my fly rod ready...these guys were rising all over the place in a small pond in keystone.

 

sweet pics, glad you had fun!

 

Good stuff man i did my cross country from Ga to Mt 2300 miles

and finally, the grand canyon!








i took around 500 pictures...it was nearly impossible narrowing it down to these few to post up for you guys!

 

wow quick replys! didnt even get all the pics up yet haha. we did the trip quickly, because we had to get back to school, but it was nice seeing the parts of the country id never been before. left Thursday morning, arrived tuesday night...3500miles total.

 

Thats a lot of seat time. That trout would be a blast on a flyrod.

 

Great pics. If your ever up this way I could make your truck look like this. Of course I couldn't make in to a bike or a car, but you know what I mean... ha

 

looks sweet! is that some sort of HDR shooting?

 

glad you liked it out here man. Ive been to the Grand Canyon so many times living out here, it never gets old tho. Its amazing everytime i see it.

 

Great shots. Must have been a blast

 

Awesome pics man Looks like a fun trip

What a Great Country we live in. Thanks for sharing the pics!

 

I'm a youngin haha I am a freshy at tempe too. I love it so far!

 

Amazing pics.. What camera?

 

Nope, just good ol pro photo work. They are both lit with strobes and lots of oversized bounce and fill cards. Those shots are basically straight out of camera. Very little post work. Here's another... a bit smaller version ha!

 

right on. what are you studying? do you park on campus? ive been looking for other tacos on campus to start a tacoma row in lot 59 or 59north haha.

thanks! im shooting with a nikon d50.
