Posting my Mediterranean shots (part 1)

It’s been almost 8 months since I got back from the Mediterranean and after culling down thousands of shots, it’s time to post the whole collection. I took most of the shots with my LUMIX GX8, a few (surprisingly few) shots with my Leica Q, and another handful with my iPhone. I have to say, unless I was shooting selfies I wasn’t too impressed with the “smearing” my iPhone 6 did. Many of the shots taken with the iPhone look like a “paint by numbers” when it comes to sharpness, but that’s why I brought my GX8, right? After going through the Leica Q shots I have to say that yes, it is one fine camera, but I was so self aware carrying that camera around, I do not regret selling it when I got back home. With travel I find the ability to throw my camera with my 14-140mm (28-280mm M4/3 equiv.), and a couple of Leica primes and I’m good to go. Anyway - this was vacation, not work, so these are my “snapshots”. I spent very little time setting up any shot since it was constantly “go-go-go”.

Since there were close to 400 shots when all is said and done (approx. 100 shots a week for 4 weeks) I broke it down to 5 groups.

Here is part 1. Stops in this group were Barcelona (where I flew in and caught the ship a couple of days later), Cartagena, Spain then to Gibraltar UK, and Marseille (Provence) France.
