David Sun's Travelogue

Zion National Park

I finally finished putting up photos from my trip 2 weeks ago.  Most of them turned out better than I expected – everything looks worse than it really is on a laptop.  Some of my pictures from Zion didn’t come out too good though, mostly due to being taken in bright sunlight.  Since Zion NP is basically at the bottom of a canyon, there’s alot of shadows.  Also in harsh sunlight, it’s hard to see the LCD screen of my camera so it’s hard to tell exactly how the photo looks.  One nice thing about the Canon S3 that I had a few years ago is that it has a electronic viewfinder that you can use to view your photos.  This is nice since sunlight can’t get into the viewfinder.

This time around, I didn’t try too hard to name my photos or give each a description.  Usually the names I choose aren’t too creative anyway

World's Tallest Thermometer

On Sunday, I drove by the world’s tallest thermometer in Baker, CA along I-15.  I’ve actually been by it a few times but didn’t know it’s significance.  So this time around I made sure to get a photo of it.  It’s not as impressive when it’s only 61F outside.  Maybe it’ll be warmer when I drive by it on my way back to Vegas but its not going to break 100 while I’m here.
