My Iowa Commute

[HungLikeJesus]

I drive about 20 miles one way to work, with an elevation change of about 2000 feet.

The first 10th of a mile is dirt; the rest is paved.

I had this great idea that I would ride my motorcycle, with my camera hanging around my neck, and would be able to shoot without stopping. Apparently, I was lacking in either riding or photographing skills, and found this to be impossible. Instead, I put the camera in my tank bag, and had to pull off the road to take every picture, sometimes risking death just to bring you these photos.

19.9 miles to go.

The road, for the first 5 miles, includes about 54 curves, but must of the pictures I took on the connecting straight parts.

Most of the trees are Ponderosa Pine. The deciduous trees are either Aspen or Cottonwood.

I'll try to post more throughout the next few days.

Buy one of these: Gorilla Tripod, affix to your handlebars or helmet and try again.

BigV, that's really neat, but we're going to need a bigger Gorilla, or a smaller camera. It says that the maximum weight capacity is 9.7 ounces. The D70 weighs 21 oz, plus battery and lens.

I have been considering getting a smaller camera.

Edit: I just went to the Joby site and saw this. That might be the way to go.
