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 14/15th - Travel Day

We traveled for 28 hours straight to get from Cape Town, South Africa to Montalcino. Our three hour stop in Istanbul was made much easier by visiting the CIP Lounge. I have never seen a travel lounge like this one. They have everything you could imagine. Food everywhere, baristas everywhere, showers, golf simulator, Play Stations (where I beat Peter in FIFA Soccer), free massages - it was incredible.

The architecture of the lounge is pretty impressive, but this staircase was really stunning in person. I was really tired and not all that with it, but I like the shot.
