Fun with the Olympus OMD

Great images everyone!

Matt - interesting to see the degree of subject isolation available from that lens with this format. A keeper? Would be good to hear your thoughts.

Been shooting a lot with the kit zoom, which is a great workhorse type lens... even in low light

I keep coming back to this one. Very nice, but only now spotted the head bottom right peeking into the frame :)

Thanks Mike. It's a picture of a couple of squatter families that live under an overpass. Every time I walk past I stop, take a few shots and spend a few moments talking with them.

Hi Kurt - I keep coming back to it as well (and on facebook).
Apart from being a lovely photo (that little girl at the bottom) it epitomises what I like in photography, in that it's intimate, interesting, positive and absolutely not patronising. I guess it isn't great to live under an underpass (certain sure), but you've imbued these people with dignity and made a picture which I'm sure they would (do?) approve of.

It's something I also like about Jorgen's photography . . .maybe we should all live out in the east? (our Sim just flew to China for another year yesterday - we'll miss him - but!)

hooray hoorah I say - and thank you for presenting such a lovely and positive image.

The kit lens has a lot going for it - it's not as sharp as the Panasonic 12-35 . . . but it's 1/3 price, and it IS sharp. It's also very flexible, and the macro is a real winner.
