A couple I know wanted some images of themselves dancing Tango. They wanted something different too, not only stills but wanted to show movement. I didn't know the venue but figured it could be very low lighting and not much daylight either. I was correct on both counts. Had a really hard time with white balance here. The Panasonic L1 is not known for it's correct white balance settings but since I'm a raw only photographer I really didn't care at the time.

DMC-L1 Focal Length: 47 mm Aperture: f/4.8 Exposure Time: 1/8 sec ISO: 100 10/19/12  "Old Equipment"The E-620 seems to have more noise in the images than the E-420 which is another reason I prefer the images from the E-420. I've used the Vario-Elmarit 14-150 f3.5-5.6 on the E-420 a lot and since the lens had ILIS it worked out great. That lens is sharp at all apertures at all focal lenths. It also still retails for some €1100. Quite an asking price but well worth it in my mind. 2196
E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-620 • Panaleica • Vario-Elmarit • 14-50 f2.8-3.5
10/18/12  "Old Equipment"These images are not great, I just wanted to test how they still do with regard to the new cameras that have been released since I bought these. These orchids happened to be in bloom at the time and they make perfect testing models for this sort of thing. I believe that the Vario-Elmarit 14-50 f2.8-3.5 is one of the best kit lenses ever brought out. I also believe that it killed the sales of the Panasonic DMC-L1 because the asking price was astronomical. People who bought the combination though love it as I do. I've made some of my best images using this combination and with the Panaleica Vario-Elmarit 14-150 f3.5-5.6. I still use them on the L1. 3215
E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-620 • Panaleica • Vario-Elmarit • 14-50 f2.8-3.5
10/17/12  "Old Equipment"The title suggests that I'm going back many years when I say old, but this camera only come out a few years ago. Of course it's obsolete within 18 months as technology advances at a fast pace. I also have the E-420 which was the model before the E-620 came out. Of the two I prefer the images from the E-420. So why also purchase the E-620? Easy, it has IBIS and the E-420 doesn't.
Going back to a post some days ago when I mentioned that people love to surround themselves with new equipment, both of the above mentioned cameras can make better images than I can make. I decide how the image is taken and with what settings, not the camera. Probably the E-420 would be enough for me but it's that new equipment addiction that pokes it's head out from time to time. 2143
E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/200 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-620 • Panaleica • Vario-Elmarit • 14-50 f2.8-3.5
10/13/12  Amazing ColoursSome amazing colours. I have no particular reason for posting this image (taken with the OM-D and mZD 14-150 combination). I just don't seem to see colours like these pretty often. 1913
E-M5 Focal Length: 135 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 800 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 14-150 • colours
10/11/12  E-M5 and mZD 14-150 CombinationA bit of an abstract one here. I just liked the clash of coulours between the reds and yellows. Bokeh could be better but I don't have a prime that long and that fast to take a shot like this. 3157
E-M5 Focal Length: 150 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 500 • E-M5 • Olympus • mZD 14-150
10/10/12  E-M5 and mZD 14-150 CombinationI just keep coming back to this lens over and over again. It's so small and compact and produces great images at either end on the zoom range that I just can't leave it at home. Granted, it's not as good as the Olympus m4/3 prime lenses but there are quite a few times I just cannot zoom with my feet. 1466
E-M5 Focal Length: 150 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 200 • E-M5 • Olympus • mZD 14-150
07/22/12  Clouds IIThis was takes seconds after yesterdays image. See how quickly things change up there. All you have to do it sit down for a few minutes and watch. Just open your eyes and look to the sky. It really is amazing. 1706
E-M5 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 07/21/12  CloudsEver watch the clouds go by? I have and do it a lot. Amazing to see how they change so quickly. I always seem to see faces or shapes up there.
This was taken with the Olympus OM-D, a real snappy camera. The lens was the 45 f1.8. Very sharp and a real bargain. If you haven't got it, get it. Fantastic portrait lens and it does a lot of other things pretty well too. The OM-D is a classy camera, very well thought out and very snappy to focus.

E-M5 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO: 200 06/12/12  Clouds IIILast one for now. You may have noticed that the last three posts haven't any exif data. Don't ask we what happened because I it's the first time this has happened. Everything after this works fine.
Shot with the Nex-5N and the 18-55 kit lens. 2141
