Taken with the E-P3 and mZD 14-150 lens half way up a mountain. I had just stopped for a beather and looked to my left. I just liked the way the mountainside broke the frame in half with the different coulours either side of the ridge. Many believe that the countryside in southern Spain is brown and arid, but after the winter months which do bring some rain, it turns green with an mazing display of different flowers.

E-P3 Focal Length: 18 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 • landscape • Olympus • mZD 14-150 • Spain
06/01/12  Leica DG Summilux 25 f1.4Last image for now from the 25 f1.4. Notice the bokeh here, quite nice I think.
That look I'm getting int his image is the "Ok, that's enough" look. I've come to know it quite well recently when I'm using my wife as a model because she's the only other person around. I tend to sneak a picture in once in a while when she's not expecting it. Problem is, she knows me too well. 2671
E-P3 Focal Length: 25 mm Aperture: f/1.4 Exposure Time: 1/4000 sec ISO: 200 05/31/12  Leica DG Summilux 25 f1.4I just had to take this image. When my better half bought these it really ticked me out. Well you can't miss her anyway. I'm astounded however about how many women come up to her to comment on the great shoes that she's wearing, and many asking where she bought them from. This must be a woman thing because I've never seen men do that.
Anyway, just look again how sharp this image is. I think this is going to get used quite a lot, together with the Olympus 45 f1.8 which is just as sharp. Two great partrait lenses which I will be showing a couple of post in the next few days. 1918
E-P3 Focal Length: 25 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 200 05/30/12  Leica DG Summilux 25 f1.4This is a good example of framing. Notice you have a frame within a frame within a frame? And it was taken with the 25 f1.4 lens. Really marvelous. Not in the square format this time though. 2090
E-P3 Focal Length: 25 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/60 sec ISO: 200 05/29/12  Leica DG Summilux 25 f1.4What a stunner this lens is. A must for m4/3 users. The hood ia a real pain to stow away but apart from that what's not to like about this lens. Acting as a 50mm lens in 35mm format it has proved to be a favourite of many m4/3 users. It's not cheap but in this case you really get what you paid for.
This image was taken at f5.6 and is sharp from corner to corner. Hmm...is this going to replace my manual focus lenses? 1916
E-P3 Focal Length: 25 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/200 sec ISO: 200 05/28/12  Square Format VI just help myself. If I had chosen the 3:2 format this image would not have been made. When looking through the viewfinder (I just can't shoot holding a camera at arms length) in the 3:2 format I have trouble taking an actual photograph. This used to confuse me in the early days but I soon realised that the format in which you photograph does indeed influence just how much images you make.
Try it youself, select a different format on consecutive days and see haw your images turn out, and, more importantly, how many images you come home with. 1350
E-P3 Focal Length: 75 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/1250 sec ISO: 200 05/27/12  Square Format IVI did say taht I'm shooting more in the square format. I was just a little surprised that I do it so often. I tend to be a minimalistic photographer. It's the little things that attract my eye but funnily enough I don't post them too aften. 1425
E-P3 Focal Length: 90 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/1600 sec ISO: 200 05/26/12  Square Format IIIAnother square one for you. Things just fit nicely together in this format. I wonder why that is. I take a lot more photographs using this format. In the 3:2 format I just don't seem to get the image that I want. 4:3 is better but 1:1 beats them all. Maybe I should switch to medium format? It had crossed my mind but after looking at the prices of these things, I think I'll just stick with the m4/3 system and select the 1:1 format. Do you know how many CSC cameras you can buy for the price of one medium format camera? Do yourself a favour and just don't go in that direction. 1267
E-P3 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/9.0 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 200 05/25/12  Square Format IIIf you've been reading this photoblog then you will have noticed me going on a bit about the square format. Quite a few of my last posts have been in this format and I've just noticed that quite a few planned ones are also in this format. I seem to be using it very often these days.
I swear it, the first camera to be produced that has this format sensor will be purchsed without a second thought. The problem with the present sensors is that although you can select this format you do lose some pixels hence reducing the resolution of your files. I really want a square sensor in the 16MP area. That would suit me fine. How about you? 1697
E-P3 Focal Length: 14 mm Aperture: f/11.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 05/24/12  Square FormatThe more images I take in the square format, the more I like it. Apparently, this is the most difficult format to use and come out with some great images. I'm finding that I see a lot more in this format. Of course it won't improve your photography but this format suits me fine. I really like it. I'm not saying that these are great images but it's something I find easier to use than the usual 3:2 format which I don't really like. Much prefer the 4:3 or 1:1 format. 1437
