Idaho

[Beth Carter]

after glacier i spent three nights in idaho.

somewhere around sawtooth mountains in idaho.


not ashamed to admit i was a bit hungover when i took this and don't really remember where. it was somewhere in western idaho. no, i wasn't driving.




swan valley, idaho. on the way to tetons in wyoming.


same as above.




atomic city, idaho. the signs, which i didn't take a photo of, said to stay on the road or find yourself waist deep in decades old nuclear waste. the city itself was maybe 6 blocks complete with dirt roads. no 3 headed cows in sight.

What a great set, Beth. I like the monochrome ones especially. In particular the shots of the barn. I'd love to see more of "Atomic City" if you have any you could post.

 

[Davie Hudson]

I literally want to hug you for that first one

 

[Steve Boykin]

The first one is beyond perfect. That said my favorites are the last one and #7. Very jealous. Hope you guys are having a great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS- Which lens did you use?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

What a great adventure...and set of photos that prove it Beth.

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks guys.

What a great set, Beth. I like the monochrome ones especially. In particular the shots of the barn. I'd love to see more of "Atomic City" if you have any you could post.

i don't take many more of atomic city. most of the double wides were of newer construction and had no trespassing signs up. there was a vintage cafe that i didn't take photos of and another place (maybe an old cafe or another auto shop, couldn't tell) that i grabbed a few shots of.

i almost wet myself when i saw it. you have no idea.

the atomic city shots were some of my favorites. i'm back home now and didn't take a computer with me (just a droid tablet) so i'm just now getting around to processing and posting the photos.

#1-3 & 7-9 - 18-55mm
#4-9 - 14mm

overall on the trip i used the 70-200 the most (mostly due to hundreds of moose shots in the tetons) and 35mm.

What a great adventure...and set of photos that prove it Beth.

thanks glenn!

Oh my ...... the first one has just left me speechless..........

 

[Kev Pugh]

Beth great set and I think I can put your mind at rest, when you were hung over you had obviously spent a lot of time at the Lubrication center..

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Roadtrip!

Wonderful stuff Beth - I like the more muted tones you produce, something I need to work on

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks dan, kev and chris.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Great stuff, Beth. Wonderful. Keep em coming, and get drunk more - the hangover shot is the best!

thanks rob, i always *hic* do my best work *hic* drunk.

 

[Lesley Jones]

The scale is just incredible and the skies look as though you could reach out and touch them. I like your drunk photography too

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks lesley, montana is known as big sky country, but it was just as big in idaho.

 

[Aldous Lau]

Another great set Beth, superb!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Great set Beth and sawtooth a great name. Enjoy this type of scene a lot, with the history embedded. The old shacks depicting hope and solid futures that
that did not materialise, or maybe, it did and they moved out into their larger ranch. The rusty old tiller now replaced by twenty foot wide tillers, towed by tractors the size of houses.

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks aldous and julian. they have some great names, other places in the area include beartooth scenic hwy, ram's horn hwy, big horn mountains, ponderosa pines scenic hwy, and the town of no name, colorado.

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Het, great images. Hungover or not you seem to get some good ones. Love the old service station.

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks ralph.

 

[Pete Askew]

What a wonderful set of sets Beth. I like them all and the way they fall into groups as they do. I especially like the low angle, wide-open landscape ones and the Atomic City ones have great appeal. Nice, nice, nice.
