This was a very enjoyable trip, and having recently acquired an excellent travel bag for my camera, I brought it along. This photograph is (obviously) of the Vidalia Onion Factory. I learned a few things on this trip, the most notable being that people in southeast Georgia are some of the nicest, most sincere people I have ever encountered. I have examples to back these claims, so if you want to hear them, just ask.
While this photograph may not be one of my best technically, I wanted to share it on here. My hope is that my collection of photographs can be considered travel photography, so I wanted to share something from my travels. That's not to say I don't have more from this trip, so check back soon to see more from my Georgia trip; I found some pretty interesting places.

Wow, I do not think i have ever seen a picture where the sky is a perfect gradient between two colors. Thats pretty neat.....You didn't photoshop that in now did you....I'm watching you.

August 1, 2009 at 11:06 AMI want to hear more about your experience in SE GA. I've never been there but have been to SW GA. I find all the people in the Deep South are super nice.
Hew, you should know better than to think I did that sky in Photoshop! I was surprised that the sky turned out as well as it did. The sun was rising to the left and I was pretty sure I had blown out the sky thanks to some clouds over there, but I think the way it turned out, with the gradient like you said, ended up being pretty nice.

Gotta try our famous onions next time. Nice shot!

I always buy Vidalia onions from the grocery store.. I assume they're the same; maybe just not as fresh. They're definitely a tasty onion; hopefully next time I'm down there I can buy some fresh ones. I was also advised by a woman I sat next to on my flight to buy some fresh peaches down there.
