At the yearly classic car rally in Schilde (Belgium)


OLY EP3 + Summicron 50/2 DR
Well, such am Austin Healey 3000 has always been my dream, but considering I'm too tall, the lack of money and the age which might be to high for bothering repairing old cars....I'll stick to my exceptiopnal boring, but very very reliable WV sportsvan (its only the name that has something to do with "sport")

I'm so glad I sprung for the Oly 7-14mm. I still contend this is the best UWA lens I have ever owned (this for the second time around). It really is sharp edge to edge stopped down and the edges are not smeared. I actually don't know how Olympus has achieved this other than to use a big piece of glass focussing down onto a small sensor. Anyway, for me, it works and it means I can now confidently use it for interior architecture.

I really like these, Louis, particularly the colours. Oh... and it all looks very, very British.

I'm quite impressed with the colour draw of the lens. So far, with my birding lenses I've felt that the Olympus sensor is less vibrant and colour palette not as broad as the Fuji sensor I am used to but the colour draw of this lens is excellent - better than the Pany Leica DG 12-60 I purchased at the same time. imho.

Going for a safari, not in Brazil or Guatemala, but in our own country Belgium, in the Campine ...
We do have tree frogs there, although I had never seen them (few people have, in fact)
Yesterday, I was invited for a session with a guy who knew where to look (important, because they are the size of 1 to 4 centimeter, and in the same color as the leafs)

Here's some examples ...

Olympus E-M1X with Lumix-G Vario 45-175mm

As I was locking up last night I happened to glance to my left (eastward) and was surprised to see a red/pink 'Blue Moon'. It was almost full. I grabbed the OM-1 and put on the 300f4 and the 2x teleconverter and shot handheld. If the skies are not cloudy tonight I might make the effort to get out my tripod and have another go. I may even give the Hires mode a try. It is actually quite hard to get colour accuracy because at high magnification the colour of the moon seems to disappear and it looks its normal greyish self. I think the colour, apart from the result of atmospheric conditions (especially the forest fires in the US) is different with the naked eye. I've tried to recreate what I saw here.

After tonight, the next Seasonal Blue Moon is not anticipated until August 21, 2032. The next Super Blue Moons are expected in January and March of 2037.

I believe that a Seasonal Blue Moon is also a Super Blue Moon, but one that has a different definition. "A monthly blue moon occurs when we see the full moon twice in a single month.....A seasonal blue moon occurs when there are four full moons in a single season (spring, summer, fall and winter) instead of the usual three. The third moon in this lineup is a blue moon." https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/moon/super-blue-moons-your-questions-answered/

In any event, it's a wonderful photograph!

First time testing out Hi-Res shot. I had to use the 'handheld' mode as I was without my tripod. Not too sure what to make of it, really. I'd like to test it on an interior but using a tripod so I can get the full 80MB file instead of this 50MB handheld one. This is the original and two additional crops.
The interior is of St Magnus the Martyr in the City of London (next to London Bridge). OM-1+7-14f2.8, iso800, 7mm, f8, 1/15 - enhanced by denoise in Lightroom.

Not too bad for handheld at 1/15s, Louis. The first crop is still pretty good to look at, but that last crop shows some softness.
