Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

[wblynch]

Every SLR I've ever used has blackout while the mirror is lifted. I don't get the big deal.

Maybe some people just have to complain about something and this is all they could find?

Kevin, nice, tight portrait!

Clay, especially your second tree image (with hte bike) is very good, a wonderful feeling of light and space.

Blackout: what blackout?.... For years, I shot with a Hasselblad, where the mirror just stayed up after the exposure, until you recocked the camera. THAT was blackout.....:ROTFL:

Crazy snowy weather from the UK:

Taken with the Oly 25 f/2.8

Just a light sprinkling by many standards but the whole country seems to have ground to a halt. Currently hailing cats and dogs at the moment, great fun!

So vivek... would you have posted this if it wasn't a

"50% crop of a shot taken with Olympus' fuzzy lens pen F 42/1.2 on G1 through a couple of thick glass windows."

can we get back to the business of taking real photos?

Peace

I do not understand, Kevin. Why pick on me for posting gear details while you yourself do that. I would strongly suggest that you take up your woes with the site management.

Whatever threads you start and views you have on the m4/3rds or related discussions do not bother me. Some get inspired by some gear and others get inspired by being a partially anti gear to certain types of gear. If anything makes you use your camera (whatever that is), great.

If you have any criticism/comments about the picture, I welcome that.

To answer your question, yes, I would have still posted it if I had taken that with a pinhole on tintype medium.

What Helen suggested, I am also eagerly awaiting to see some pics of a real event in Paris. Had it not been for busy weekends, I would hop on the Thalys and make a day trip just to get a chance to shoot the protests, with the G1, of course! :ROTFL:

 

[kevinparis]

Vivek... not picking on you for posting gear details..

and I am not at all anti m4/3rds... Its just the mass hysteria that seems to have consumed this forum over the last few months

I have admired many of your photos but unfortunately this one seemed to have no apparent merit beyond the fact it happened to be taken with that particular combination
. which didnt seem to show the camera or the lens in a particularly favorable light.

Feel free to come and visit the Paris protests... they happen most weeks

Just bring your gas mask, hard hat and the titanium shell for the G1... the CRS - french riot police - don't play softball

anyway... here is a shot from a real event in Paris... a memorial parade for some poor guy that passed our window and had me running into the street... For the record... it was almost dark and I had the 12-60 on the Oly510...

peace

I think you are confusing gear with my photo. I am happy with it for what it is and whether I used a pen F lens or G1 it hardly matters to me.

If it does not work for you fine.

What would make you think that my gear is worth more than photo? If you can articulate what made you think that photo is what you say it is (which is unclear to me, btw) it would be useful (please no value based comparisons of photos and gear which is frankly ridiculous).

Clay, those are wonderful!

Kevin, that portrait is stunning.

Best,
Oly
