column images full width responsive - css

Question

I'm trying make 2 images take up full width of 2 columns. I want the images to be responsive. This seems like it should be simple but im having problems. I'm getting confused on applying width to container, row, or using table. I would like it to look like the first 2 entry boxes under the carousel on this site minus the animation rollover. http://www.montere.it/?lang=en
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="trans"> <img src="headertrans.jpg">
h3>The Latest</h3>
<p>From apartments and rooms to treehouses and boats: stay in unique spaces in 192 countries.</p>
<p>See how to travel on Airbnb</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="trans"> <img src="headertrans2.jpg">
<h3>Designs</h3>
<p>Renting out your unused space could pay your bills or fund your next vacation.</p>
<p>Learn more about hosting</p>
</div>
</div>
my css:
.container{width: 100%;
}
.trans{
transition:.all 0.9s ease;
}
.trans:hover {
opacity: 0.1;
}

Since it seems you're using Bootstrap, you'll want to do something like this.
HTML
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 text-center box left">
<h3>The Latest</h3>
<p>From apartments and rooms to treehouses and boats: stay in unique spaces in 192 countries.</p>
<p>See how to travel on Airbnb
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 text-center box right">
<h3>Designs</h3>
<p>Renting out your unused space could pay your bills or fund your next vacation.</p>
