Pete's Photos

I have been working on photography while on the trip and thought this would be a cool way to follow my progress and talk about the trip day by day. I will stick with only one shot per day. These are all taken on our Olympus OM-D 5. We only have two lenses with us, the M.Zuiko 17MM 2.8 and a Panasonic 150-300 4.0-5.6 Zoom. The micro 4/3rds format is new to me, but the size of the camera combined with the quality of the pictures made it an easy choice for an around the world trip.

December 17th 2014 - Montalcino, Italy

100mm - 1/60 Sec - f8 - ISO 200 (With Tripod)

Yesterday I decided to head up to our rooftop terrace and do some early morning work. I was stunned by the view. The first day we were here the mist/rain had fogged our little hilltop in and we could not appreciate the view. When I came out on to the terrace the view literally took my breath away. This shot was the best I could do to capture the beauty of this place and trust me when I say I am not doing it justice. I wish I were a much better photographer, I have great subject matter, just not a lot of talent :-).
