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.

10/01/12 Olympus mZD 75-3001050
E-M5 Focal Length: 300 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 320 • Olympus • OM-D • mZD 75-300
09/30/12 Olympus mZD 75-300Sorry 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. 1134
E-M5 Focal Length: 300 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • mZD 75-300
09/29/12 Olympus mZD 75-300Handheld 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. 1155
E-M5 Focal Length: 300 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • mZD 75-300
09/28/12 Olympus mZD 75-300Another 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. 1305
E-M5 Focal Length: 75 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • mZD 75-300
09/27/12 Olympus mZD 75-300I 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? 1317
E-M5 Focal Length: 75 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 75-300
09/26/12 Olympus mZD 75-300Now 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. 1754
E-M5 Focal Length: 300 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 75-300
09/25/12 Olympus mZD 75-300Now this lens used to cause me some grief with the E-P2 and the E-P3. I used to get a lot of lockups when using this lens on them. The handling wasn't all that great either. A lack of camera grip with this longish lens didn't make handling a joy to use.
The OM-D changed all that. I bought the grip to go with the camera as I knew I was going to be using this lens a lot of the time. I'm more of a long lens user rather than a wide lens user. The following images over the next few days will show just how good this lens is. 1584
E-M5 Focal Length: 75 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 75-300
09/24/12 Olympus OM-DAfter looking at the orange colour of the petals in this image I decidedĀ“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. 1362
E-M5 Focal Length: 150 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 14-150
09/23/12 Olympus OM-DThe leaf texture turned out well in this image. The stammen are also pretty sharp. Again, not a lot to say about the image, just putting the OM-D through it's paces with this wondeful lens. 1136
E-M5 Focal Length: 120 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • OM-D • E-M5 • mZD 14-150
09/22/12 Olympus OM-DI really do like the way the OM-D sensor captures the images. It's pretty flat and it gives me more room to play with when developing the raw file. 1235
