Set Free on the Open Road Ahead by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views at a roadside pullout along California State Route 127. I liked the idea of a long, straight stretch of highway to my front and wanted to capture that with an image. I decided to squat down and have a focus point a little down the road to ensure more of the image was kept in focus. Other things I kept in mind were attempting to align myself with the center stripe and angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring the mountains higher into the image. I think all that helped to bring out more of a sense of grandeur with the look down the highway.
