Taken from Via Maestra dei Villaggi bed-and-breakfast, of Positano, Italy, on the Amalfi Coast south of Pompei.

I have a great deal of fun with Olympus's extraordinary IBIS. This was with the last Olympus-branded body, the neo OM-1. My tripods are never used to avoid motion shake, but are saved for things like panorama or time-lapse work.

This was shot hand-held at 1/80th of a second at ƒ/2.8, ISO 25,600, at the full-frame equivalent of 300mm focal length. This was with the wonderful Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm ƒ/2.8 Pro, the longest lens I took on this trip, which easily fits (without hood) in my LowePro waist pack.

The only post-processing was size-reduction and JPEG conversion from the camera's raw file.
