Stopped by a local pond this morning just as the sun was coming up and shot this little still life. I hoped the photo would capture a sense of the quiet and peacefulness of the setting.

ISO 100 84mm f/6.3 1/400s (45-200mm lens) / Post in PS CS5.
The GF1 continues to impress me.

Outstanding - which given the very high quality of all the posts in this thread is quite an accolade, imho

Olympus E-1 + Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f/1.8
ISO 3200 @ f/2.8 @ 1/100 second​

Playing around with the E-1 and Konica 40mm f/1.8 today, I was inspired to experiment with ISO 3200 for the "big grain" feel. Kinda likin' it. :)

thanks for looking, comments always appreciated.

Looks good Godfrey!

Can you post a picture of the E-1 Konica setup?
Thinking about adding a bigger Olympus to my gear (again).

Here's two taken day before last with the Nikkor-H 28mm f3.5 - Which I like a lot more than I thought I would!

Both taken at f/3.5 IIRC. This little guy is nice and contrasty and very sharp at 100%... I like it! :)

These aren't 100% crops though - these are the typical 25% or so scales. Again, very little PP - noting at all invasive - no need to.

Very nice! What is the significance of "IIRC"?

Sure, no problem:






Quickies made hand-held with the E-5 and 50mm Macro lens ... :)

It's smaller, handier, and lighter weight than it appears. The deep lens hood gives excellent protection to the lens and excellent protection from flare with no vignetting.

Very impressive results. I don't think I could manually focus a bird in flight at 100mm f/2.5 on a GH1. You did a great job of it!

Oh, you could! I'm not very good and I can. And you'd have to anyway. Well maybe not with a 100mm but with anything longer than that and/or smaller/faster birds AF just will not work - any camera with the equivalent FL. Maybe if you practice your arse off with a Wimberley gimbal head and your camera's tracking is the best in the industry then... But typically AF is a no go. I've heard many BIF shooters say the same thing too. My only wish in that the GH1 had 7 to 10 FPS in continuous mode! Then I could focus and also get enough frames/poses to have a nice selection! 3FPS with a max buffer of 3 shots sucks MAJOR nuggets!

Here's the GH1 with a FD 300 F/4L @ F/4 ~ F/5, manual focusing, manual tracking, manual exposure, all shown here at 90% ~ 100% cropped:

Going for seconds!

I was down there again today too. There were 8 other guys shooting this little fellow. At around 4pm we all got together for some coffee and showed each other our results. Of the 9 of us all were manually focusing except one. The manual focusers all had 20 to 100 excellent shots. I had 17 - but I don't think they're excellent... they were in focus and the bird was in frame at least (about like these above). The AF shooter was using the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM Lens on a 1.6 crop body. He had one in-foocus shot from 5 hours of shooting - though I dunno how many total shots he took. It could be that he only took one LOL but I'm pretty sure I heard his 6.5fps camera go off at least half a dozen times - just near me. I took a total of 26 shots of the king fisher but 9 of them were kinda like this (Next post):
