Road Vistas

Road trips can always provide great photo "opps" — especially when traveling (as a passenger0 with a digital camera. Many cameras have special effects for straight out of the camera (SOOC) shooting. These photos were taken with a Canon PowerShot SX130, a point & shoot camera with an extended telephoto.

Like playing with color settings for poster effects, vibrant color, and color swap.

Another choice is switching to black and white (B&W) which works great with lots of cloud effects.

Fish eye effects can also be a lot of fun too.

There are scenes as seen through other things, like this tanker truck.

And ones that make you wonder like this one:  How do you get a gorilla into the bag AND more importantly why would you want to ?

Can you figure out how this photo was taken ? (Hint - it was not taken in a car or while driving)

A gorilla could come in handy whilst travelling.

love them all, the fish eye wins first place, and i think you were standing on the side of the road in the last one... boo hoo, i have not been a passenger on a trip since i got my camera, 7 years since we went on the road... now i want to ride and snap, but then since i don't ride with earnhardt hubby, guess it will nt happen. i just bought Bob Gorrila glue and Gorilla epoxy, but no bag. YET

Pretty cloud shots. It's fun to experiment with the camera and see what you can create.

I was going to say the side view mirror in that last one but not so sure now. Great views and pictures. Happy traveling!
