scenic panorama

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Our little family spent all of last week in the northwest. Going on an Alaskan cruise has been on our bucket list for quite a number of years and we finally did it. Loved it so much. And now we’re getting back into the groove of life. I haven’t even uploaded pictures from the dSLR yet. But I do have a handful of pictures taken on my iPhone that are pretty nifty and definitely worth sharing.

Today is the ” visual yumminess” I spoke of earlier. I’m sharing some panoramic views from our travels. These were all created the same way:

1. Shot with my iPhone

2. Stitched together with AutoStitch app

3. Enhanced (color, border, etc.) with Camera+ app

As you can tell, I have so much fun taking pictures on my iPhone, just like many of you. It’s for sure one of my absolute favorite toys. Actually, it’s more than that. As a documenter of life, I consider it an essential accessory in my world.

AutoStitch, Camera+, and Instagram are my top 3 favorite photography apps at the moment. Enough babbling. On to the visuals.

Seattle. As seen from the Space Needle.

Mendenhall Glacier. Juneau, Alaska.

……….

Glacier Bay.

……….

Near Skagway, Alaska? Maybe? I can’t remember, to be honest.

……….

Misty Fjords.

As seen from our balcony on the cruise ship.

This last picture was shot around 10 pm. Being that far north, the sun sets very, very late. Dusk is unbelievably gorgeous in Alaska. All of what we saw of Alaska is just gorgeous. Like – really, completely, totally gorgeous. We are so grateful for the opportunity to see that beautiful corner in this gigantic world.

I will likely share more pictures from our trip. I’ll definitely be posting some on facebook + twitter for a little while.
