Post 02 - Testing panoramic and video

No, we haven't left yet. Yes, here we are posting again. Please allow us to reiterate here that once we're onboard we've only got the times when we're in port or within 3 miles of shore to get posts out on this blog. And we have fun things scheduled in all of those ports so we don't want to have to sit around the ship trying to figure this out then. So today we're trying to see what it takes to get these different mediums uploaded and what the final products look like. Lets start with a panoramic view off of the wine and cigar terrace. In other words, the view from our balcony.

We chose "large" for the size of that picture here and were really hoping for it to be somewhat larger. Really, anything resembling "large" would have been better. Wonder what small looks like.


Wow! Super tiny. Okay, for panoramic pictures we'll go with large.

Now then for one last test for the day. We uploaded this short video just to see what kind of quality we can count on. It's recorded on HD so we're very curious what the finished quality will be like online. We uploaded from the camera to the computer and then again from the computer to the site. It took forever, should be decent. But be warned! It's only a stupid video off the balcony. Expect absolutely no intrinsic or humorous value here. We're saving the big yuks for the real show.

Well, that's the test for now. Time to see what it looks like posted. If we like this, that will probably be all until we start.
