Awesome.

One of my favorite pics from when I went to Ireland in 2006.

Since I don't have a wide-angle or a fisheye lens, I've taken to creating my own panoramic shots with Photoshop. From a camping trip in Virginia last summer.

^ I absolutely love both of those, the first one is kinda creepy/eerie but in an awesome way. And the second is really beautiful... so green!

Thanks. That's actually a shot up a chimney in an old, burnt-out inn called the Hellfire Tavern. It sits on top of a big hill over-looking Dublin, and you have to hike through the darkest woods I've ever seen to get there. Actually, here's a pic.

Keep in mind, this is in the middle of the day.
And this is Hellfire Tavern.

Could have sworn I've already seen that building on ghost adventures/hunters/gathers.. one of those fine programs.

Well, I guess I'm kinda on a roll, so here's some more.

My first makeshift panoramic. A bit sloppier. From a road trip in 2006. Lake Tahoe, California.

^That first one is amazing! I've never seen a sky like that in my life.

Many thanks. I guess the trickiest part to that day was predicting whether the sunset was going to be interesting or not. In fact, that's one of my favorite things to photograph is a nice sunset. Probably because nature does all the work. I just click the shot.
