We set off Monday morning to drive through the Cascades on the outbound leg of our epic wine country road trip, with [info]wolffire along as native guide. We stopped in Yakima for lunch (yes, Dad, I took pictures of the train) and arrived in Walla Walla a little after four o’clock. Once we got settled at the Tucker Inn, we headed into town for dinner at 26 Brix (where we were slightly overwhelmed by the portions and slightly underwhelmed by the meal), and I took particular delight in the offerings across the street at La Hacienda.

I took this shot for [info]oogby, because it reminds me of something that he’d make into a costume or a spaceship.

Hey, [info]butterandjelly, does this (found on the wall in the living room at the Tucker Inn) look kind of like this to you? Or am I just crazy?

    ah, you know me too well. Every time I see a light like that I want to redesign those glowing, spinny red things on the TOS Enterprise to look more like them… :)

    Love the panoramic shots, too. How did you make those?

    Some of the panoramas are shot with my SD700 using its “stitch assist” mode that shows you part of your last photo as you take the next one, which lets you line up/overlap the shots, and it also fixes the exposure so that you don’t have one piece exposed differently than others. Then there are some things that I shot with the 350D (the DSLR) and just pivoted as I shot.

    Then I use software to assemble the panos from the various pieces; this is where the magic happens. ;-)
