Week 23 - June 9, 2013
The Hundred-Mile Ride
So far, my Project 52 images have been mostly art photography and not a documentary of my activities or photojournalistic in style. This week, largely due to how I spent my weekend, the shots are a little different.
Saturday I went on a motorcycle trail ride on my Yamaha TW200 with a friend and his son. Kris, Kyle, and myself rode in the area above Smith's Ferry with stops at the old mountaintop lookout sites on Packer John and East Mountain. By the time the day-long ride was done, we logged 112 miles seeing some spectacular Idaho country and sweeping views. I didn't want to take my good Canon camera on the dusty, jarring journey and so had my little Sony DSC-HX5v in it's belt-pack. I've posted shots from the little camera here before and it does a good job for the most part. One feature that was particularly nice was the built-in GPS function which tags each photo with the precise location where it was taken.
So I'll let the pictures and the captions tell the story. Click the smaller images to see them larger and be able to read the captions. Some have GPS coordinates which if copied and pasted into your browser should take you to a map of the spot where the photo was taken. Enjoy your ride!
