Many Circus Pics - OM-D and Oly 40-150 - High ISO SOOC
4 months ago

I love this camera.

I went to the circus last night and took my new OM-D with the 40-150 lens.  At this point, this little $99 beauty is the only telephoto lens I own.  I didn't expect much in this difficult shooting environment, but I was quite surprised by the results.

All handheld, mostly wide open, and at or near 150mm.  Of course, not every picture was a keeper.  The shutter speeds weren't high enough to stop fast motion; however, I did get a good number of usable pictures.  What I consider "good snapshots."  This is the great advantage of m43.  You wouldn't get anything usable from a compact camera, and it would be too cumbersome to bring a full-sized DSLR.

I've attached these pics straight from the camera.  They are full-frame and haven't been cropped or edited.  I know that they can (and will) be improved with PS, but I thought this forum might like to see what you get straight from the camera.

So here they are:
