Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 11: Field Trip to Howth and Departure from Dublin, Ireland.
We were only in Dublin for two days. The town was crowded with additional tourists and US Naval sailors because Navy was playing Notre Dame. I finally found a working cash machine, but it only had 50 euro bills which were hard to use for small purchases. In the morning I joined a Field Trip for a hike in Howth. Later in the afternoon, I took a series of images as the students and staff went through security before boarding the ship. Security was looking for alcohol and other contraband (including food).

Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 9: Glacier National Park, Montana.
Glacier National Park. Somewhere I want to go back again before the glaciers are all gone. Lots of waterfalls along the road. I do remember traffic being bad. All images taken with a brand new (at the time) Nikon D200 DSLR camera.

Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 8: Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
I spent the night in Jackson Hole and got up early to see Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park before going to Yellowstone National Park. I remember that it was very cold at Jenny Lake with a little bit of ice just at the shore. Even at 18 mm with the D200 camera (equivalent to 27 mm on a full frame camera) you could not get the entire view across the lake with one image. I took several images because I was told that there was software that could stitch several images together for a panorama. I didn’t have the software when I took the images. Back then I only had a flimsy tripod, no remote shutter, and my fingers were getting really cold.
What is right or wrong with these two images? You need to open and look at the images in a full screen mode. One panorama was done with Photoshop CS5 and the other with an early version of either AutoPano or PTGui. If I have time later today I will redo a panorama using newer/current versions of the software.
