But scenery is only half the equation, composition is critical to great photos, and clearly you have that skill down. It's been killing me not to see these photos until now, been on the road and in meetings/training for the last 48 hours continuous, so I've only been able to use my BlackBerry to read the site. Unfortunately it can't download the 50MB (or whatever this page "weighs") of pics, HEY, I REMEMBERED TO HIT RETURN BETWEEN EACH ONE AT LEAST....so I've only been able to read the text.

You've really got me thinking about HIDs, LED fogs, and cutting down the bump stops. The latter two are cheap/free and it seems to be a BIG gain. HIDs may wait awhile, but I have a feeling if I get the fog LEDs I won't be able to stop.

Thanks for sharing Sue!
Glad you enjoy 'em. I too love photography...and also love the West as a subject, especially with a circular polarizer for those uber blue skies!!! Check out my new avatar, that's my fav pic of the whole trip!
I've long called it my 3 Cs...I love Cars, Cameras and Cats.

One hobby I love is photographing old abandoned cars along highways and byways, as well as old OLD barns. I came across many of both on this trip thru the Heartland, it was fantastic.

As I was driving & evaluating the bump stops, kept thinking...need to mention or describe that to Mav, especially as I became more and more sure of my decision. I'll ship you my spare pair so you can cut 'em down and try it. I can't see me ever going back.

GET THE BI-XENON NOW! Best upgrade you can make for safety AND they look soooo cool! I recall Moncha telling me this and now that I've used them, I totally understand! Driving thru a ton of rain, and then even some fog at night on Friday's marathon drive home, they were invaluable.
Mine were $190 delivered from xenonrider.com, but Jack told me last week he got his from another seller for less AND they had a lifetime warranty, but can't recall the vendor. Jack..HELP! Jack also said the HID cheapies on ebay etc are lower powered (I think that's what he said) and not worthwhile.
