Brant Herbert Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Too much BTDT this trip to shoot many, but here's a few. I rolled 50,000 miles on my way to Torrey (since 8/9/00). A smile per mile In the crisp morning air, the hoons prepare for their assault on Capital Reef and destinations beyond. A group of late risers took a leisurely Saturday morning ride to Escalante for lunch. Kathy enjoys the view... ...and stops to play with a lizard. On returning to Torrey after the lunch ride, I made a brisk solo dash through Capital Reef's twisties to the Lake Powell overlook Link to comment
Kathy R Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Oh God Brant......the shot of Lake Powell is breathtaking. It is difficult to imagine such a magical place...but that shot just about does it. THANKS! I think the lizard was way too tame. He let me pet him...that is when I started to think that I know nada about lizards and decided he might have some nasty poison skin or something? I guess not...at least I didn't notice any side effects. Link to comment
videoguy Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 While everyone else was trying to warm up the blacktop Saturday, I was in Capitol Reef NP taking pictures. One of the prettiest days I have ever seen in Utah. It's always best the day after a storm. Photo attached. Link to comment
videoguy Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Here is another pic from Capitol Reef NP. How do I add pics to text rather than as an attachment? Link to comment

PeterScottNJ Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Brant, awesome pics. But a question, what this film for digital on the Lake Powell shot? If digital, what camera? Link to comment
Brant Herbert Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 Digital. My trusty Nikon 990 with wide angle extension lens. Shot hand-held w/o a tripod, I exposure-locked the camera, then shot the sequence of photos at approx. 45 degree compass increments, trying to keep the camera level across all shots. In the end, I had about 10 photos. The magic happens in Photoshop Elements, the "Photomerge" command. Pretty cool! I'm still learning how to shoot these panoramas. It would help if I shot with a tripod so the horizon stays level across all shots. Still, its kinda fun! What I wish I could shoot would be these "immersive'" 3D photos from IPIX, but that technology isn't targeted to the hobbyist, too much $$ for the keys to encode images. Maybe someday, when I finish accessorizing my RT (i.e never ) Link to comment
WURTY Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Torrey Torrey Torrey ya ya ya Lets some some pics of Babe-o-licious Link to comment
badtr8s Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Brant, Thanks for the pics. I was unable to get there, but was through Torrey in April of this year and June of last. I love that area, and am really mad I couldn't be there. Was Diablo Cafe open? In April they hadn't opened up yet. Some note on the door about skiing. What a great life. Slaniac. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it. Link to comment
Stir Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Sorry Wurty.... We all got naked and howled at the moon. We all promised never to talk about it though. What happens in Torrey, stays in Torrey..... oooppppss. Link to comment
