I've run into more than a few people with an old van or pickup with a cap, and when they go on a weekend trip someplace I imagine it's easy to just jump in the back when you get tired and sleep wherever you are! You can wake up with nature all around you and without the stress of finding lodging, checking in, paying for it, etc. Also easier than setting up and tearing down a tent each time.<br /><br />Sharon, I gotta hear your story about that trip! Great idea! Yeah, cold weather is something I'm trying to avoid. If it ever goes down below 50, I'll be piling on the blankets even with my sleeping bag!Scott Teresihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548107075072066071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639268897684519435.post-31352591237013775742009-09-02T13:19:24.595-04:002009-09-02T13:19:24.595-04:00Dad...

The shutter was at 1/60 on ISO 80 which is probably fine with image stabilization. I had just cleaned the polarizer quickly and recalibrated it so I think it was on. It was just a hazy evening (storming up the road in Columbus). I had bracketing turned on most of the time... looking at the darker version of that image, that might actually be slightly less hazy! However there's sightly less light on the foreground trees.Scott Teresihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548107075072066071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639268897684519435.post-27771779378146759322009-09-02T12:38:34.219-04:002009-09-02T12:38:34.219-04:00Wow Scott, integrating work & traveling has be...Wow Scott, integrating work & traveling has been lifelong dream :) How exciting! When I was 16 I did something similar - packed some stuff, grabbed a blanket and headed south for a week to come back up the Blue Ridge Parkway. The people were definitely nicer south of Ohio! The thing I did not expect or plan for was the Cold weather I experienced - very hard to fall asleep when you're freezing! Really enjoy seeing your pics - they are awesome!!Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639268897684519435.post-4534136313823904942009-08-31T20:05:48.538-04:002009-08-31T20:05:48.538-04:00"I didn't know so many folks slept in the..."I didn't know so many folks slept in the wal-mart parking lot.

That would have been a perfect scene to use the polarizing filter. It may have cut through the haze and enhanced the sky. Same comment with some of the other scenes with too much blue in the distance. I tried to do some correction with photoshop but not possible to do much. Need some more sky detail for my taste. Have you tried bracketing your pictures with three exposure settings. These shots are so valuable as a one time chance. Did you use a tripod or comparable camera mount?Dadionoreply@blogger.com
