cellusd > The charred remnants of an abandoned restaurant/gas station at exit 216 off of I-70 in Kansas. This photo came out better than I expected. Since this required shooting into the sun, I used the 400-speed so that I could get a fast enough exposure to capture the shade details while holding the camera. The resulting graininess is kinda dramatic; Having Mel in the shot provided some human scale.

cellusd > Wind farm along I-10 near Palm Springs, CA. This only begins to capture the unique visuals you get from driving past literally miles of windmills.

cellusd > Utility pole with transformers, Boonesboro, KY
