state line
I know this isnt midwest material but since i travel all 48 states

i do take a lot of photos in other areas.. this is a shot of the

nevada state line while traveling north on I15 from ca.

If you see what looks like dust particles in the photo, they are

bugs on the windshield of my truck.. took this at the last second

while slowly decending in my semi down the mountain

rebel xt canon 75-300mm all the way out at 300mm

maybe it will work this time

It worked both times for me. :biggrin:

I'd like to see less sky personally, and the bug spot could be removed easily enough. Perhaps a pano crop would make this a bit stronger.

I agree with Joel that there could be less sky in this image, even though the open sky is so much a part of this region. Ever thought about doing a photo book of images captured through the windshield?

Looks like an interesting downhill ride. Not a bad shot when I think you are on the front of 80,000lbs about to head down into the valley.

Chuck's got a great idea, Wally...a book "As Seen Through my Windshield" would be perfect!
