A friend and I recently took a cross-country road trip from Las Vegas, NV to Boston, MA, camping and winding our way through the most scenic parts of America. You can read all about it in this post. I had a lot of fun postprocessing some of the images in black and white and wanted to share those as well. Enjoy!

Lots of good compositions and subjects here show a good eye. I like the dark tones but for me many need the full range to whites as they lack overall contrast. Vignetting shows in several also-using a polarizer? Many wide angle lenses need a thin mount filter.

What a trip! You took me back to some places I visited long ago and made me put some new places on my list. Awesome and awe-inspiring photos! I did notice some dust spots on #7 - Capitol Reef. Should be an easy fix in post
