Thanks, Danny. Sorry for the slow response. No, it's not a panoramic thing. That's just a narrow crop of a single picture of Upper Yosemite Falls in Yosemite Valley here in CA. Believe it or not, the little white cone at the bottom of the falls is around 80-100 feet high.

The upper fall in the picture is 1430', lower fall is 320'. There's a cascade between the two falls that drops 650'. Together they all add up to some 2400', making Yosemite Falls the highest in North America.

Somewhere in Utah or Nevada along Route 80. Trip I did by car last year. Nikon D300.

Nothing wrong with the D60. If it had been out when I bought the D300, I might have gone for it instead. They only had the D40 then. The D60 will certainly fit in a saddlebag a lot easier than the D300. Unless you're making huge prints, I doubt any real human could tell the difference in picture quality. Does the D60 shoot video? I know some of the newer ones do. D300 does not.

Thank you WW!

I've wanted to drive across the country since I was a teenager. Last Spring (2008), at age 61, I finally hauled off and did it. The terrain didn't change all that much till I hit Nebraska. Then, the spaces in Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada are mind boggling to an Easterner. I spent 2 days photographing Point Lobos, (just South of Carmel, CA) in the footsteps of my main mentor, Edward Weston.

I'll post some other photos from time to time. It's my other main passion. I've been doing it for over 40 years, 10 years professionally, which I refer to as the "Starving Artist" years of my late 20's and early 30's.
