**** This Week Thru Your M43 (November 24, 2012) ****

Hello and welcome back to the weekly C&C thread.

M43 Onion News

Olympus is scrambling after the release of the lenstip review of the 17mm f1.8 lens.  The lens apparently costs a decent amount but failed to live up to expectations set by earlier lens releases.  To deal with this marketing problem, Olympus has announced a new marketing campaign, called "Living la Vida Bokeh!"  Ricky Martin has been signed on as talent to literally sing the praises of living the bokehlicious life of a Olympian!

Living la Vida Bokeh!

Should be a 2048 version of that on there if you want a closer look.

This never would have happened if Tedolf was still alive.

Ethereal and somber without looking underexposed. Well done.

I love the color and reflection going on in the second one.

I really like how you framed the first one though I can't put my finger on why exactly.

Yesterday evening, I went home and saw this cat. He is really funny. Dutch shops are pretty organised and tidy. This cat just goes in and out of them and simply lays on boxes or wherever he likes. No one cares or dares to take him away. This cat is the size of a Bobact or Lynx it seems! I think it is a Norwegian Woodcat. He was very gentle and calm..



Clikc on the gallery link and look at the "original" size. Nice high ISO I think.

That cat looks exactly like my cat. I'll have to post one of mine - dueling cats.

What lens did you use?

Thanks. I upped the contrast slider in LR4 to make the reflection pop.

couple of shots of the little guy with my new EM-5...

Here (in Cleveland) we had this really thick fog come in off of Lake Erie for

about half an hour. I'm really disappointed I didn't get more keepers though.

This doesn't happen too often and I wasn't quite sure exactly what to shoot...

GF-1 + 45-200:

From a little casual photo shoot with some friends at a concert:

GF-1 + 45/1.8

E-PL1, Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 and m.ZD 14-42mm kit lens; Lightroom 4.2



I like them both, but the lighting in the portrait is beautiful.

Taking the 35-100/2.8 for a low light spin (apologies for the cut off finger):



(Non-traditional) family photo:

Classic only because my youngest always makes goofy smiles. Tell her to be goofy and she's a little princess.

The Oly 60mm f2.8 macro.  Sharp lens.

My cat is pretty tiny.  Most that look like her are pretty big.

The relatives shot is well done, nice symmetry.
