Bobcock in the USA - Photothread

[Humbert]

Intense, saturated color. Nice work! Takes me back to automobile trips cross country on route 66 as a kid.

That shot of the Grand Canyon is amazing as most photos there turn out flat or washed out.

I was quite pleased with them as the weather at the canyon was not the best. I never shoot what the camera tells me to, usually 2/3 of a stop below, doesn't give time for the colour to be washed out. In Thailand I shoot probably -1 1/3 all the time as it's so bright here.

I think the USA possesses the most awesome desert scenery in the whole world.
Atacama, Olgas, painted Desert, Rub' al Khali etc- there is nothing to match the USA.

America has some incredible sights spread over the country.

Mount Rushmore blew my mind and to see that up close is quite unbelievable.

Get there Bobby and post up some pics of that.

[Bobcock]

My plan once I leave Thailand and return probably to the UK is to take a few months out and travel coast to coast via such places as Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Canyonlands without the kids and do some real hiking and photography.

Gotta get the kids into Uni first....

If you win the lottery, check out Hawaii too BC. The Big island is the one place I might base myself over here, if I had the money.

Hey Bobby, did you go inside and say hello to Chumly ?

Great TV show on this Pawn Shop on A & E.

They were all away on holiday, but my kids wanted to go in.

The guys in there said that the 'stars' of the show are rarely seen front of house unless requested by the film crew. Then they just do their bit and scuttle off back behind closed doors.

I wondered who might notice....

When were you in Vegas Bobcock? I was there from the 7th to the 12th of this month.

thanks for those Bob. Yes, I walked in your footsteps on many of those shots. Grand Canyon, Utah plateas. Kings Canyon in eastern Californis with a trilllion gallons of the purest water on Earth is another sight to see. Don't have to be gambler to pay a visit to Las Vegas to stroll through those 2 $billion casinos, a sight to behold and those all you can eat restaurants.

Good show

places like this give me the creep, I would rather go to NY or even San Francisco, at least those places have dimensions

Las Vegas, a must see in a lifetime, but that's it

[Bobcock]

yep, I couldn't wait to leave to be honest.

I don't gamble and it had none of the charm it had when I was last there in 1987.
