Doing things the hard way

I was looking through some photos I took around Belfast ME on Penobscot Bay, some manually generated stereo pairs and some panorama shots I took "the hard way" because none of the cameras I have with built-in panorama have good lenses and resolution. Doing one panorama and one stereo pair took me almost three hours, although I did learn some things about GIMP I didn't know.

End result pleases me, and I'm sending them off to a professional photo printing service because doing them on a printer doesn't satisfy me, either. These may become Christmas presents for those of my family who went with me, and nothing but the best I can do is good enough.

In the end, "Perfect is the enemy of good enough," and I keep that in mind, but some times good enough isn't. Like the old Hallmark commercial, "when you care enough to send the very best."
