Mount Rushmore Up Close and Personal

Another view of this awesome monument, this photo taken with a telephoto lens at Mount Rushmore National Memorial (U.S. National Park Service), America’s Shrine of Democracy, South Dakota.

Photo taken with Kodak EasyShare digital zoom camera. I waited until the shadows were just as I wanted, then zoomed in as far as the zoom lens would take me.

    This is a magnificent image for not being an aerial shot! Great job! If I remember correctly, when I went in 1993, we had to capture this from quite a distance! Well done Carolyn!

  • Carolyn Bishop replied

    Thank you, Dyle! Yes, one does have to capture this from quite a distance (from the Visitor’s Center)! I had to push my zoom lens to the ultimate to get this!
