Yeah...I was limited on space so we had to pick and choose images.
I had SO many images from the trip. I shot 4 gigs of photos at the comp!
2Gigs on the Monday after, and another Gig between Moab and Georgia.
If you figure that every 2 Gigs is about 760 images then figure in the law of averages...that means I got about...50 good shots. :lol:
