Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Photography By Jim M. Goldstein

Back in the Saddle

It’s official I’m back. Back from 5 days of a very hectic but relaxing travel schedule to photograph the beautiful natural landscapes of Utah and Wyoming. Not counting my flight from San Francisco to Salt Lake City I logged nearly 1100 miles in my trusty rental car. In a very strange coincidence I seem to have captured a tad over a photo per mile. As we all know it’s not the quantity of photos it is the quality of the photos that matter. Over the coming weeks you can expect to see photos and read vignettes from my trip.

With an aggressive schedule and so much ground to cover
even while driving my camera wasn’t getting much rest.

On this trip I had the pleasure of meeting several great people across the region. I am looking forward to sharing in the coming week a conversation I had with a very talented and for now unnamed photographer in my next episode of EXIF and Beyond. I’ll also introduce you to a local environmentalist with a great cause that needs your support.

Before ending this entry I should also note that just before and during my trip quite a bit has happened that is noteworthy.

I have to admit I was very happy to have heard this news while in Wyoming.

My Arctic National Wildlife Refuge photos were referenced in a ThinkProgress.org blog post titled Boehner falsely claims there’s no ‘wildlife’ in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (with video of Congressman Boehner’s idiotic claim)

PhotoNetCast #8 has been released with discussions around Photography Contests with special guest professional photographer David Ziser

  • Which lens do you used it? Canon 15 fisheye
  • Very cool shot Jim.
  • Thanks everyone.
    @Ron Niebrugge this was indeed taken with a Canon 15mm.
  • Jim, was this with the Canon 15mm fisheye?
  • Hey Jim,

    Welcome back!

    That is a cool image. I like seeing the road atlas in the seat next to you. I'm glad to see that wasn't a Driving for Dummies book. :)

    I look forward to seeing what you captured on your travels!

  • Great perspective Jim. That sunstar is pretty too.
  • Nice driving portrait! Soo cool! Hope to see more photos of your trip.
  • That fisheye shot is just fantastic!
  • Jim:

    Hope you had a great trip. Just got back from one myself. Looking forward to hearing the podcast with you-know-who. Good job on the self-portrait.
    Cheers,
    Gary
  • Great photo Jim; good use of that fisheye!

    Glad you had a great trip (I'm jealous as I'm way over do for a photo outing myself; maybe once I'm caught up on all my other projects...). Looking forward to the photos and stories from your trip.
  • Welcome Back!

    Hope you had a blast
