Fun with the Olympus OMD

Thanks for your comment, Jono - love that one of the Sea Squills! The church one has lots of impact too.

Nothing serious here - was just having some fun playing around with the 'Diorama' art filter and the 12-50:

Excellent - makes everything look like models.
We're off to Venice at the beginning of November - I guess there won't be any t-shirts and sitting outside then!
Hopefully the weather will be okay for photography though.

all the best

Thanks, Jono. Here's YAZP - Yet Another Zion Pic - OM-D, Panasonic 12-35/2.8 at the wide end:


Best,

Thanks Jono. We were in Venice in early September and the weather was great - as you say, probably getting a bit cool for t-shirts and outside now though.

I have a few more shots taken with the diorama filter but those four were probably the best ones. I reckon the filter works best when your shooting angle is high and your subject is framed in close with walls or other high objects - that makes the subject seem even more 'toy-like'.

Got lucky with this one. Was walking through a street market in Amsterdam when the missus wanted to look at some clothes inside one of the shops (of course!) The sunlight was coming in from a window at just the right angle and fell on this t-shirt:

From the Zion Workshop: I brought an OM-D and a Cambo/IQ140. The Oly is a lot easier to use! :cool: And it can do a fabulous job. Here is with the Panasonic 12-35/2.8.



Best,

Matt
You were just to the left of me when you shot this, and I believe Jack was in the middle and higher up on the rocks for his capture.

It was a nice cliff, wasn't it? Damned photogenic canyon. :)

I like your more dramatic processing, but didn't want to just copy you.

my first large pano with the EM-5 + 60mm macro. Shot from the top of Hengistbury Head (an Iron Age village location and SSSI) overlooking our harbour on one of the few really sunny days recently. There was a massive tide which filled the harbour to the brim and I reckon every single sailing boat in the region was out on the water. Who needs the South of France :)

Created from 20+ images the finished file is a monster of over 120,000 pixels on the longest side and is destined to become a tryptich canvas of 9ft. (I've just finished a 4ft version on lustre paper from my epson R3000 which will be going into a local exhibition in a couple of weeks and it looks rather fine :)

Don't know how its going to show here but here goes anyway

I waited for ages for all the people to move out of this shot but took a couple anyway while they were still there - never did get one with no-one in it but I think this one kinda works anyway.

Musee d'Orsay, Paris

A Black Kite shot with the 75-300 at a local Hawk Conservancy, cropped by around 30% but otherwise much as it came from the camera
