Dear All,
I am currently backpacking through the USA and Canada, and my travels take me to Salt Lake City tomorrow, and then north into Canada, across the Rockies to Vancouver for Christmas, and down the West Coast to Arizona by mid February.
I was wondering if anybody is photographing/traveling in these areas at these times, or knows anybody else who is, as I have become frustrated at having to travel on buses etc, which do not give me the freedom to stop when and where I like to shoot. It would be so much more fulfilling traveling with other photographers in the area.
I would also welcome and general suggestions on shooting the West during the winter time, such as where and when to shoot certain landscapes, and recommendations of travel methods.
Many thanks, and I would absolutely love it if there was someone to hook up with to shoot the West!
Do you have particular dates in which you will be arriving in certain areas? Which states along the U.S.-Canada will you be traveling through? Most of the people that post in this sub-forum are more familiar with Washington and Oregon. You may consider posting this in the Rocky Mountain section if you haven't already.
Congrats on your journey and braving the conditions during the winter. Make sure to post a link to your story/images when all is said and done.
