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 4th 2014 - Kommetije, South Africa

17mm - 1/2 sec - f 2.8 - ISO 200

This was taken at the Lumineers concert in Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Cape Town. The venue is really cool and the band sounded great. It was interesting to contrast a concert in SA with something we would see in the states. The crowd was way more interested in talking to each other and enjoying their food and wine than in the band - and this was a sold out show.

Any photography was really hard, as it was really dark when the band came on and I did not have a tripod so this was handheld for 1/2 second exposure and still came out pretty clear. I like the lights illuminating the crowd in this shot.
