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.

I took this shot this morning while I was out taking pictures of the town. I was a LONG way away 500 yards or so from this guy and it was really early so I had no idea if the picture would turn out at all. This is not really edited at all, the light was blue like this, I just cropped it so you could see the surfer.

We have not seen anyone out surfing this wave because it is big and the swim out is nasty. This guy stood here for about 5 minutes before going for it. I can only imagine what was going through his mind.
