The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.

With an amazing light, giving wonderful colours.

The rendition of the blues is excellent, and the contrast due to the soft& warm light makes some breathtaking shots.

There's nothing not to like here.

Very, very good job.

and good morning.(hoe gaat het met jou).

You make me wanna shout....I HAVE TO GET THIS 620. But I already can
hear my wife saying..another camera!!!

Like I said before it didn't take you very long to master the 620.
Love 1-3 and 8 but they are all very good.

Thanks for sharing Lou.

Cheers.

To keep my brain active I'm trying to learn CS3 and Lightroom 2 ,
only to get more confused, because I don't read the manuals.

Awesome images! You make the E620 shine! As I looked at the images of the "watchman", I thought, "my worst day is better than his". Having sea gulls take care of bodily functions on him all the time must be rough. LOL. Again thanks for posting the wonderful images.

Roel thanks,

Btw. a friend of mine has got a cornet at that time with some franch fries, so he has to run for his life :)

On one of the images you can see how the gull is looking for a piece of chips which was trowed in the air, you also could be seen.

Cheers Lou

to squeeze a simply incredible amount of sharpness and detail out of
that lens on that body. I am really very impressed. Not just with
the equipment but also with your handling them. These must be some
of the best shots I have seen in a long time with those tools.

And some of the best gull shots I have seen. Ever. Period.

I am guessing that the gulls remained a bit stationary in the air,
floating on the wind. Those were the conditions in which I have
managed to capture some OK shots of sterns and gulls (but not as
detailed as these).

I also like the dark tonality and rich colours of all the shots that
are taken against that menacing and dark cloudy sky.

Hello Don,

As I expirienced with my first DSLR that PP isn't to avoid. I try to learn and get some skils in PP. To achieve the best results I am fond of some sober in camera settings so I can do the most by myself. I use different PP programs. First at the time the I bought my E620 I saw on the CD delivered by Oly the name Arcsoft

and I googled on it and they have a program named PhotostudioDarkroom which is a very handy program. As you know Brian is very fond of Lightzone and indeed it's a fine program which take more time to controll. Furtheron there is Photoshop CS4 and Capture One and last but not least Lightroom from Adobe. As fas as I know they all are available as tryware version.

The camera adjustment I meanly use are the following:

Grad: normal
Sharpness: -1 or -2
Contrast: -2
Saturation: -1
Metering depends on you needs and the subject

adjustments used per image you can find in the EXIF which intact but needs a Exif viewer.

I admit when the weather is nice that the E620 is a great cam with great results, but when the light fall of you got a lot to do to get the images in the way you like them. And that part you will find in PP. Succes.

For camera adjustments, you also look at the site of wrotniak.net. There you will find very usefull information about the E30 which has the same processor.

Cheers Lou

I often wonder how people thing they can get very good images when the sun shines from a cloudless sky in the summer. "Photography" means something close to "paint with light".

I heard a story about the American photographer who set out to photograph a river. He stayed near the site for several days without taking one picture, and these were days with nice weather. However, since he wanted to portrait the river as the wild river it was, he needed special light.

I think Lou got exactly what the American photographer was waiting for; a very dramatic sky.
One of the most important virtues of a photographer is patience.

Yes Raymond, thanks for bring that up and indeed that's all what counts, how to capture the light. But adjustments and PP are also needed.

Cheers Lou
