I Was In Italy

[Photo-John]

I was in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, last week. That's way up in the Dolomite Mountains, near the Austrian border. It was much more of an adventure than I expected.

Read my Cortina blog post >>

Go on - read it! I promise you'll be entertained...

Neat!

I was not in Italy. So I'm very jealous.

Great Shots, The top one could be a post-card. Whats that your using to take the picture in the sunglasses reflection.

Glad you like the photos. A good location definitely helps

The camera is a Casio test unit - the Exilim EX-V7. It's a 7-megapixel camera with 7x optical zoom, full manual exposure controls, a big LCD, and mechanical image stabilization. I haven't looked very closely at the image files yet, but I enjoyed having it on the trip. I shot all the studio tests before I left and you can check them in the Digital Camera Tests Gallery.

A full review is in the works. Unfortunately, the charger is in my lost baggage. And the battery is dead. So the review is on hold until I can get my luggage back

I like both shots but the first one gets messed up when that guy on the bike jumps over the fence.

I wish you'd suggested that while I was there! That would have made the photo complete.

It's great to get to live vicariously through your adventures John. Great photos of a beautiful place. Thanks for including us.

Welcome back John,

I enjoyed reading about the trip in your blog. The photos are beautiful. Were some of them taken with the Tokina 12-24?

Looks like you had a great time. Hope you get your luggage back soon.
