So I took the new gear out for a spin yesterday to get used to it and to make sure I worked out the kinks before heading to Texas for Jeff’s Texas Landscape Safari.  I took a road that I haven’t been down in I don’t know how long, but I am happy I decided to head that way.

Came across a huge grouping of California Poppies to start of the trip.  All this and I forgot my macro

At this top of the hill was this great tree.  Made of a great conversion to Infrared B&W

Great mailbox about 2 miles from the flowers.  I can’t believe all the stuff I was finding on a 5 mile stretch of road this point.

Found this guy hanging out at the barn below.

It was a great trip and this wasn’t all I caught.  Over at the Life @ 50 project you can see what else I caught and I have a few more posts coming up in the next few days to show off a bit more of what I found.  Had a lot of fun with an old tractor I found that I did a Single shot HDR on.
