We visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Pisa last week. I’m knee-deep in photos and videos from four different cameras, plus the ones others took. While you wait with bated breath for the usual video summary, here are some photos I liked out of the GoPro camera. I found a couple of cool Lightroom presets last year that really bring out the colors from the usually-dull GoPro images.
Here’s an example. This is Cathedral Square in Pisa, with the famous leaning tower:
