As a few of you know from other threads in other areas I took a week to go to the badlands in South Dakota. I appreciate the help and advice for filters and other stuff needed to get nice shots. I wasn't able to "play" as much as I had hoped. I did manage to forget my good tripod :mad2: ended up stopping at the brother inlaws and picked my cheapy one:mad2: .
Took the laptop and external drive with. Ended up taking over 1200 pics out there. Granted alot of them were family here and there. But alot of them did come out nice. I won't bore you all with 1200 pics :idea: . I have gotten through day 4 and will post highlights of the trip. This isn't going to happen all in 1 post. I will try to do a post for each day. Any comments on any of the photos are highly appreciated!
Day 1 was the long drive from southeast Wisconsin to Hot Springs South Dakota. Me and the wife traded drive time every 2 hours. So I had alot of time to read my manual and play with the camera, and read my book that Greg McCary recommended "teach yourself photography by Lee Frost." I ended up taking a few pics out the car windows that were a 50/50 turn out.
I was able to capture these 2 between Rapid City and Hot Springs. I wasn't able to get a graduated ND filter but these seemed to come out somewhat better than the others. These were taken out the window of our speeding car down the road.
More to come later when I get a chance to add day 2's photos.
