Brady: Photographers can perform magic and transform the worst of things into things of desire.

Each time I look at my garage now I have no desire to clean it up...

You live in a nice area. I wish I could ride that way more often.

SheRidesaBeemer: Those trucks are big and in a hurry in a place that I always consider calm and serene. They just appear out of nowhere so you better get out of their way.

Thanks for the kind words about the pictures! You probably are referring to the ones Enzo made!

Nelson: Almost everything I shoot for Scooter in the Sticks is done with an old Canon G9 camera. It's been beat up pretty badly and I suspect when it dies I will get myself a new Canon S90.

On occasion I will take a picture with a digital SLR camera but that's usually because I am on assignment and have that camera.

SonjaM: I use a point and shoot camera. A little practice and experimentation and you can do some cool things with them.

There are lots of people doing exquisite work with camera phones. Check on this iPhone video, shot and edited on a phone. Amazing stuff.

Bryce: I usually only get the outriggers out for snow. This instance was one of pure laziness.

I remember all the big trains in Renovo in the early 70s, just before the railroads flew apart. Sad to think all those right of way's are gone. One day someone will be kicking themselves over those decisions.

I wish someone would come by and make my messes look so good. Those are great pictures and the view is beautiful. I suppose it’s the same mountain chain I’m on, but seeing it through someone else’s eye is always a nice change.

Holy smokes, the picture of the moving oil truck buzzing past the scooter, what perspective! makes me want to lean the other way to avoid it. Your photography is really taken a step forward these days! Gail

Steve,
You've probably posted this elsewhere on your sight, but can you tell me the specifics about the camera you use to get these shots? Perhaps you can direct me to the blog post where you've already provided this information. Thanks!

I continue to enjoy your blog!

Lots of the pictures I take of my bike and the road are inspired by your choice of perspective. I am not good at it (point and shoot is all I can do) but I enjoy it anyway. Thank you for taking us on this lovely journey.

Those feet out the side are known as outriggers, great to ensure you don’t fall over on the tight curves.
As to Renevo the last time I was there was when it was pennsy helper station and Alco RS3’s were mainline locomotives…that was 1965!
Looks like Enzo enjoyed himself!
