Fall photos from KY…..a warm up for my next big trip.

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Dave

After 5 years lugging my Canon G9 camera all over the world, I decided to upgrade a bit and just received a shiny new Sony NEX 5N.  I was a bit hesistant to depart from the big names in the photo industry–Canon, Nikon, etc.–but I am very satisfied with my decision.  I went to the Bernheim Forest in KY this weekend to test out the new toy.  Here are a few photos from Sunday.   Keep an eye on the blog starting Nov 18 as I start a 2 week trip to Italy (surprise) and Istanbul.

Utah and Arizona – Final Thoughts

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Dave

I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my recent trip to Utah.  You probably wouldn’t realize that by the overly-serious look on my face in the photo from my initial post so I will post another below that more accurately conveys my feelings.

I want to also thank the shop and hotel owners in the town of Springdale–you were all very accomodating and you have a very nice little town. I hope to be back again sometime.

To anyone that loves the outdoors, I can’t think of another area of the country where you can travel to many National Parks in a relatively short period of time.

I will end my Utah blog with three of my favorite photos from each of the National Parks that we visited–Zion, Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon North Rim. Enjoy!
