Another flower I know, but don't they make great test models. Look at the sharpness of this image with lovely bokeh.

Notice how I'm back to the square format. I just can't help it with the Olympus cameras. It just suits me fine. My most hated format right now is 3:2 which all APS-C cameras have. Maybe that's why I've gone off these cameras at the moment. I even find 4:3 better. Must be just a phase I'm going through...right?

All of these images were taken handheld. Some parts of this image were again overexposed but the highlight recovery in LR4.1 is great. For those who haven't tried it yet, I recommend you try it out. All of my layer work etc is still done in Photoshop but I do as much as I can in Lightroom. It has lots of options that can get the image very close to how I want it. My Photoshop work seems to get less and less the more I use Lightroom.

Sorry some more flowers coming your way. It's something I can'r resist too. There's so much variety in form and colour you just can't take photographs of them all. But, sometimes it does show how good a lens and camera combination really is. If the colour and contrast is good, the texture of the leaves and petals. I'm just fascinated by it all and I think it shows in my photography. The following images shows just how good LR4.1 is at recovering highlights. Most of these images were slightly overexposed where I had to use highlight recovery on them. Works too.

Handheld at the equivalent of 600mm. The IS on this camera is superb, and the lens is no slouch either. I didn't expect this to be so sharp. What I don't do is delete any images directly from the card as I am shooting. Memory is cheap and there is no reason to be running out of space while out photographing. Many a time I have been quite surprised at some of the images I have taken after downloading them onto my PC. Keep everything until you get home and download everything onto your PC. You can always delete them then.

Another one at 75. A bit of an abstract but I like these at times. The grass was growing chest high and I just couldn't resist it. I find that after a while you tend to take the same type of images because you have trained your eye to see those images. Don't get into a rut because the images get a little boring and you find yourself getting frustrated with your photography. Always look for something different and don't be afraid to be a little adventerous. You can always delete the images if you don't like them or they're just a catastrophy.

I was concentrating so much on getting some long range shots that I almost forgot to get some images at the other end of the zoom range. This image proves again that my copy of this lens is stellar. I can't complain obout the shrpness here. Can you?

Now these Pelicans were just enjoying the sun in the middle of this lake. They were quite far away and made a perfect target for my 75-300 lens. Just how well the IS worked and the sharpness of the image proves to me that the combination of OM-D and the mZD 75-300 is just fantastic.

After looking at the orange colour of the petals in this image I decided´to look back at the images posted in the last few days. I have come to the conclusion that the colour acuracy of the OM-D is pretty much spot on. It's much better than my Panasonic cameras (except the DMC-L1) in this respect. I always have to adjust those which costs quite a bit of time with certain images. Gets me a little frustrated from time to time too.
