Sometimes it is just plain fun to look at exceptional travel
photos. This first site is a slide show
from Budget Travel entitled “25
Most Photographed Places.” The really cool feature to this slide show is
that after each photo of a cool place, there will be another photo of the same
place but from a unique perspective, position, lighting, etc.
So go through the entire slide show, take note of the tips,
practice up on your photographic techniques this coming year and be ready to
take some awesome pictures! (Note: #23 is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and my
favorite is #38—way cool!)
The next site is absolutely breathtaking photography! It is 360 degree aerial 3D
photography by AirPano of some of the most unique sites in the world. You simply have to see them to appreciate the
clarity. They were taken with a
miniature aerial helicopter equipped with a camera.
Unfortunately not one is of any of the sites on our upcoming
tour, but if you’ve traveled with me before you will recognize several and
perhaps others you have traveled to yourself.
Just click on the triangle inside the circle and move your mouse in all
directions. Click on iPhone or iPad if
you are viewing in those formats. (Note: I found it worked easier on the iPad.)
Panoramas DK is
unbelievable! It has SO many wonderful
places to visit. Again not many from
where we are touring except for Berlin Potsdamer
Platz. You really must look at Versailles Hall
of Mirrors France. It’s almost like
walking the hall again! And use your
mouse to scroll up and view the fabulous ceilings! (Note: You will need
QuickTime to view this site.)
This site, 360 cities, has a panorama view of Prague. There’s also one of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Scroll down on this site to see other
panorama views at the concentration camp.
Interested in creating your own
panorama? Here are 8
tips on how to do just that. Autostitch is a free panorama
software download. With only 11 months left before we leave for Eastern Europe,
you’ve got a little time to practice!
