Great shots, although I'm sure you already know that.

Sometimes more pics, less text is a nice relaxing way to go on a virtual trip with someone.

Cheers.

Okay, the photography is awesome. I ride a VFR and also tote a "real camera" much of the time. Great to see pics taken with something other than a smartphone. You have skills. What are you shooting with, btw?

Thanks man. All of these were taken with my old (circa 2010) Canon T2i with the standard 18-55mm kit lens (that of the "no longer autofocuses" fame). It's a terrible camera that's been beaten to death hiking, dirtbiking, and being dragged around the world -- and is now going in the dumpster. 6d will take its place in the tankbag -- look for marked improvement in future riding photos. Yee-haw.

I shoot everything raw and do my HDR stacks with Photomatix Pro 5. Everything else I run through a pretty standard Lightroom/Photoshop workflow.

Thank you. And people here think vacation USA is just theme parks, movie stars and Vegas. I am now educated. Stunning.

Great ride report,thanks for taking us along. HONDA should have used your shots to promote the 1200. You would have made Honda a boatload of money.

All can say is wow.

Wanted to thank you after the fact for mentioning some of the places in this post. I got a chance a week ago to ride the Carrisa Highway (58) which has some fun parts, skipped past the Plain (105 degrees too hot for this white Canadian), and headed over to the 155 to Kernville which is an absolute gem of a road. I'll have to go back later in the day or early in the morning sometime to see the Carrizo Plain and the petroglyphs.
