photophile

The reason I asked is that a couple of years a go, I worked in a research lab which still used an older optical microscope (an Olympus incidentally). In order to photograph the specimen, you had to...

Quick question (might sound silly): Do you use a specialised adaptor to connect the camera directly to the telescope eyepiece ? I presume you just use the camera body to mount onto the telescope...

Well, I wouldn't really know where to put the bridge (plus it might inconvenience daily commuters trying to earn an honest living banking and finance) - but the MCG option is just too good to pass...

Thanks. I can´t remember off the top of my head but several Olympus compacts from the mid-2000´s came with the ISO-50 option. The advantage was beautiful silky smooth shots at base ISO. The...

Davo! For a split second there, I thought you´d beat me to the joke - but you came THIS close and....probably thought better of it. Since I have no shame, I´ll tell it now: What do you call a...

Thanks for the heads-up beacs - and glad to hear that Carlos has managed to sort things out. E-mail scams are ten a penny at the moment. There's several different types: Those that claim to want...

Which (or how many) of the Olympys m4/3 pens feature a tilt/swivel LCD ? thanks -- AH

That's close - close enough to be in the weekly close-ups thread in fact! :-) Great shallow DOF with the old Zuiko. -- AH

Gotta love that outdoor action shot in pic#2 - just replace the garden with the savana and the cats with a couple of lion cubs and suddenly, the genealogy shows through! :-) -- AH

LOL! And they say the eyes have it - in pic #2, its definitely the ears. :-) -- AH

That is a yawn in pic#2 I take it - and not a snarl ?? ;-) -- AH

Great work as usual Digster - I see that the E500 is working its magic :-) -- AH

Superb renditions of these winterscapes. Hope you're keeping nice and warm over there - I've seen the blizzards on the news on TV. -- AH

ah! there it is again - that wide open expanse of unspoilt natural landscape, under blue skies. This is the life. We should learn to appreciate such places as they are becoming increasingly...

Beautiful Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia) Please ignore date in EXIF - seems Dpreview galleries tag each picture with the date of upload, rather than using the date from the camera. If anyone...

warriormous´s commented last week - that soon I´ll be roaming the neighbourhood looking for alley-cats to photograph got me thinking. So I did the next best thing - visiting a friend who actually...

You´re getting them to pose on your finger now ?? Going to have to start calling you Dr Doolittle ;-) -- AH

This is a detail of the lock on a ring box, which would sit comfortably on the palm of your hand. The lock itself is approx the side of a fingernail. I set the camera on supermacro mode (one of the...

the eyes have it! Good shallow DOF effect. -- AH

No doubt about it - definately a star in the making - especially in this MGM film studios type theme :-D -- AH
