Took the new CUV out for a drive

JWPhoto · 09-24-2009, 09:16 PM

I got sick of hurting myself every time I rode my dirt bike so I decided to trade it for something that I could still take into the mountains but can take all of my camera equipment too. I ended up trading for an 89 jeep wrangler that is awesome for taking pictures so I call it my CUV (camera utility vehicle). Here are a few pics from Denney Creek and exit 38 on I-90 that I took today. I would love to know what you think.

Good stuff. Looks a little dark, but maybe it's my monitor still being a bit off. My colors seem a bit "flat".

Can't wait to hijack the CUV and do a Hwy 2 run.

Thanks for the feedback Jason, the 5D seems to over saturate the picture a bit so I desaturated them. I also used the ND filter that I believe has a 2 stop drop on them so i might need to lighten the pictures a bit. I was really trying to not blow out the highlights as that has been my biggest struggle lately.

I agree with J on the color. The ND filter shouldn't make a difference as your cameras meter should compensate just fine.

BTW, exit 38 is my favorite wheelie road
