Two from my first day; (Panasonic getting these out just in time for Christmas makes it seem like a gift...) Finding it a bit hard to get a good sense of the sensor; but the images look better on the screen than on the LCD. Both are from in camera jpg, but I did do some curve adjustments. So far, I like the GF1/20mm combination.

I'm not sure if I'm posting these properly—if not, my apologies!

A few from a morning at Old Salem/Winston Salem--apologies for a couple having been posted in Lensbaby thread.

The patterns, both shadow and those of the bench/railing caught my eye






The Moravian cemetery is based on 'choirs'-buried according to marital status, gender, age, etc. Very plain markers and rows and rows. In the older section I came upon one stone that says simply "Vacant/Remains Removed"---I thought it very strange that a stone would engraved to signify this--perhaps to keep the consistency of the row.

Your cemetary shots have me considering a lensbaby (or other selective focus techniques) once again, Diane.

Epitaphs can be historically informational, interesting from a human perspective, and sometimes amusing. I remember one in a cathedral in England (13th century?) which illustrated the state of medical knowledge at the time: "Here lies ___. Died of a rapid decline."

John, I pulled out my EF 45 f/2.8 TS the other day again--but its big AND heavy using it just for selective focus on the m4/3rds. I doubt I will really use it for increased perception of DOF OR perspective control on the Gs--and if I'm going to use it for selective focus--I'm finding I can control the much lighter Composer (its not 'little'--I bought 4/3rds mount and use it with MA-1) with care--which you have to do with a TS anyhow. It has a focusing ring, which my old LB 2.0 did not have; using the ball/socket you can do very minor adjustments to tilt;--and with the insertable apertures, you can play with DOF quite nicely. I do have 2 WA converters--the UWA (.42) which gives me about same FOV as 20 f/1.7--and an old .625 I had for the LB 2.0.

I chuckled at the epitaph you cited.

Ah, oh... shame on me, I live in the old Hasselblad town... Thank you.
Lol, I hope you guys can sort those money among you because you get a $7 fine for posting in the wrong forum...

A short series I shot yesterday with G1/Lensbaby Composer with .425 and .62 WA.






They were taken at the NC Transportaion Museum--which is really more train based.

Yes but only someone with your excellent pp skills would produce such perfect images to match the subject. The "old lens" effect and the contrasty black and white goes so well with the era ...
