  • All joking aside, even though it's a bit frustrating the the "perfect" PEN for me is coming out so soon after a recent purchase, I did get some really nice photos that I might have otherwise missed...

  • @abortabort Yes...I'm terribly vexed. I feel that the only way to fill this void is to throw insane amount of $$$ on Voigtlander lenses that I'll never use but look great sitting on the camera. :)

  • Just my luck. I was holding off on getting the E-PL5 because of the lack of a built-in flash but I finally caved in and bought one 2 months ago. And now here comes the E-P5 with built-in flash and...

  • Replied in Dessicated
    They looked dead but I didn't touch them (I had a sci-fi movie image in my mind of them bursting into a cloud and swarming my hand). From where I was standing they looked dessicated and almost had...
  • I was out hiking today and saw these insect-like carcasses on a couple of leaves. Anyone see these before? Are they insects or seeds masquerading as insects?  Close-up. Note the fly near the top,...
  • Submitted a challenge entry Escalator
    This was taken about 13 years ago on my first SLR. It's one of the earliest photos I took after taking a serious interest in photography. It's a simple photo, but maybe due to sentimental reasons I consider this one of my favorite film photos.

  • I think a more interesting question is why so many people insist the Either-Or mentality of owning only one type of camera. Why would you want to limit yourself that way?  I suppose that there are...
  • Jersey Gull: What a huge throat! With the right lighting, this guy could be the stuff of nightmares! Chick: LOL...no wonder he looks PO'ed. I'd be too if my proportions were all in whack like...
  • Replied in Feeding Frenzy
    I like how the photo strikes just the right balance between chaos and formation.
  • Created discussion D700: Angry Birds!
    I love it when the strike a fierce pose for me :-D D700 + Sigma 150-500mm OS HSM Java Sparrow Lorikeet. EDIT: Just noticed that the EXIF shows that this was shot with an Olympus E-PL1. Probably...
  • On my old E-PL1, I shot in 3:2  because I was accustomed to that ratio from my D700. But after upgrading to the E-PL5, I've been having fun experiementing with 16:9 framing. It's given me some nice...
  • Bird photograhy isn't really my forte but I like trying all types of photography so I usually go birding a couple times a year. These were shot at at the Bird Aviary in Hong Kong Park, Admiralty....
  • Replied in Focus hunting?
    I did a firmware check for my lenses 2011~early 2012 but I should probably check again to see if my 45-200 has the latest. For stabilization, I set my E-PL5 to Lens IS Priority ON to utlize the...
  • Replied in Focus hunting?
    I've been pretty happy with my 45-200mm but I've noticed that it tends to focus hunt more often than my Oly lenses. I'm not sure if it's due to setting or compatibility issues.  The 400mm full...
  • Replied in Good read!
    It's not so much a matter of whether you CAN do nature photography with M4/3, but how much harder is it compared to D-SLR. I'd have to say that D-SLRs have still have the edge in terms of lens...
  • This is my second M4/3 camera; it replaces my E-PL1 as the go-to camera for lightweight travel. Originally, I saw the M4/3 format as a back-up for my D-SLR, but over the years I've found myself...
  • Created discussion E-PL5 goes birding
    I normally go birding with my D700 + Sigma 150-500mm lens, but I was curious to see how my new E-PL5 would do under similar circumstances. In terms of performance, I'd have to say my D700 kit is...
  • I chose the E-PL5 over the E-M5 because of the lesser bulk. To me, the appeal of M4/3 has always been portability. The fact taht the E-PL5 had the same sensor as the E-M5 made the decision a...
  • I'm a fan of the MFT format but even I'd be the first to say that there isn't a single camera (any format) that can claim that. Despite all its improvements, the E-M5's focus tracking still has a...
