Thanks everyone and keep submitting pictures to MyTravelBackpack.com! ; )
Woo hoo!
Not my most technical photo, but multi-shot panoramic photos are a consistent crowd pleaser. Look for the panoramic setting on your digital point and shoot camera… it’s great for capturing scenes too big for one photo.
