I’m finally getting around to uploading the Peru photos to flickr. If anyone reading this (people do?) is friends with Adriana on Facebook, you’d have seen some of the photos. For some awesome reason, Facebook mangles some of the photos to appear grainy… not like Facebook is a great photo sharing site anyway (it’s fine for drunk or phone photos). Having said that, some of the sets are on flickr already, but I’m re-doing my Lightroom workflow and so they’re going to be updated with more info and some calibration edits, so I’m not ‘publishing’ them here yet.

I’ve always taken panoramic photos on my trips, so they will be in there too. There are a couple of HDR photos too. I dabbled with some 3D photos this time since I recently purchased a Holmes viewer. You can also view such photos using a cross-eyed technique, but after a while you *will* get a headache (and then some people have trouble seeing the 3D using this technique at all). Wikipedia has a good intro to stereoscopy, and just how damn old the technique is, but I’ll do a more in-depth post regarding that later.

Anyways, back to it.

Seen at the Hybrid DJ set at Revolution, downtown Ft Lauderdale.

This last post regarding the honeymoon covers the couple of days we spent in Venice, and the subsequent drive down to Perugia via Bologna.

We found Venice to be amazing, and loved wandering around the maze of buildings and water, not really caring when a dead-end was encountered. One of the very first things we checked off the list of things-to-do was a gondola ride:

We discovered early on that the quality of the food was inversely proportional to the view offered, so a view for lunch like the one below resulted in pretty terrible food.

Wandering around the streets, we came across some pretty amazing things, like this outdoor classical music performance.

While the first day was spent walking around getting lost in backstreets, the second was spent navigating the ferry system and hopping from island to island. We visited Murano to see the glassmakers. The following video shows how a glass horse is made.

Pink glass lamps were everywhere.

We explored Murano, visited Lido (and bumped into some friends while there, which floored me at the time), and took a night stroll around Venice where I got the opportunity for some night shots, like this one:

We then drove down to Bologna and had a fantastic lunch, spending some time admiring the medieval architecture. We spent that night in Perugia (Baci chocolate!) and the next day encountered some sort of Catholic procession moving through the town square. Notable about this was the large Jesus-figure made out of sand and rose petals:

We finally made our way back to Rome for our flight back to the US. We were exhausted at the end, but it was such a fantastic trip and have many memories from it, and again we thank everyone who contributed towards it.

There are a bunch more photos that I couldn’t include here, this would have been a massive post if I tried to. The flickr link for the set is here.
