Just Gorgeous

This was what we saw when we took our morning walk from our hotel in Lipari.  You can sort of see Dad in the bottom left side of the photo.  The island across the water is Vulcano.  It was quite a hike UP but very much worth the effort.

Same area as the above photo.  Only this one is just a photo, whereas the previous one is a panorama shot.  Such a difference!  I remember when I would be in a gorgeous place and wish like heck that I had a panoramic capable camera, and now it's on your phone!  In fact, I remember sending off film to the store and getting them back and 3/4 of them were blurred or horrible, etc.  Its' amazing that any photos were worth keeping in the 'old days'.  You would spend money on film.   Not know what your photo looked like.  Had no way to edit them.  Send them off to be developed and wait weeks.  What a process.  Today it's all so easy and quick and you can edit and see immediately if you captured what you wanted.  Just sayin' I am grateful!!!

Wasn't it last summer with Cora when I taught you how to do a pano shot? I remember taking some funny ones in the forest where it looked like you had no arm or something. So funny. I remember it was a big deal when I sent in my first roll of "unknown shots" and got them back and realized I had taken terrible shots. I also remember thinking, "Oh this is pretty. Ok, where's the perfect shot because I'm only going to take ONE shot and save the other 35 shots on this roll of film for the rest of the trip."

I was asking my dad if he had a picture of his porsche he once had. And he doesn't! Even with film we didn't take pictures of things we do today. Crazy. So glad we have it all now in our pockets.

Yes! Grateful for digital. I remember you made us pay to develop our own film so that added to me being careful and yet... I took pictures of my dominoes. You were smart not to pay for that. Haha.
