Trip to Greece with the Pentax K10D

Pete Fang has just created an extensive post documenting his 7-day vacation in Greece. In addition to enjoying the superb photos, we get to peek into the equipment he brought along, plus some related tips and tricks.

The images come in four sets – click the thumbnails to view a larger version of the pics.

Set 1 – The Usual Attractions

Photos in this series includes the popular church in Firostefani village and a gorgeous sunset in Oia (shot with the 50-200), Santorini, Athens, the Acropolis and the Pathernon.

Set 2 – Mykonos Island

Set 3 – Santorini Island

Set 4 – Miscellaneous Shots

In this series, Pete captures some candid photos, among other subjects. The man on the donkey wasn’t too happy about being photographed, said Pete, so the DA 50-200mm lens came in handy for snapping the picture while he was quite a distance away.

Equipment

Read Pete’s brief overview of the equipment that he brought along on the trip.
Specifically:

• Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home bag
• K10D with three Pentax D-Li50 batteries
• two 4GB and one 2GB SD cards
• DA21mm
• FA 31mm

• A* 85mm
• Epson P-5000 portable storage viewer – has a gorgeous screen and native support for Pentax RAW files

Tip: For travel photography (especially when there are many tourists around), Pete reminds us to always look for a different angle to photograph from.

I really enjoyed this photo series of Greece. It’s truly a photographer’s paradise. You might want to take a look at Alexring’s photos of Meteora if you want to enjoy more images of this country.
