Olympus : Down Hill Crash Smashed In Ruins etc

[RoelHendrickx]

There seems to be a trend going on about spoofing the Olympus doomsday threads with dramatic thread subjects.

OK. I don't wanna miss out on that fun. So here is mine.

Olympus Downhill with Lensbaby Composer on E-1:



Olympus laying in Ruins with ZD 8mm on E-3:



Olympus getting Smashed with ZD50-200 on E-3:



Olympus Heading for a Crash with ZD35-100 on E-5:



Olympus Taken Down with ZD150 on E-3:



And that trend started a long long time ago :

Olympus Taken on the Horns with ZD40-150 (MkI) on E-330:



Meanwhile, back at the cuckoo's nest, I am quietly enjoying my cameras and the photos I make with them.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE with your IMAGES OF IMMINENT OLYMPUS DOOM!!

Please : pictures only. Talk for the benefit of talk, we can find enough elsewhere.

Hey! That's a BIG LENZ you got there! It's no wonder Olympus is going bankrupt with lenses that big.

cuckoo's nest -> see Ken Kesey -> see Milos Forman
as in : "mental institution"
as in : those who still go the Olympus way, must be crazy.

It's called irony, you know?

... sometimes you feel dwarfed



... or maybe a bit blue



... the horizon may look gloomy



... and you feel that people are doing this to you



... you'd think it's all downhill now



... and that you're always be alone



Thanks Roel, that was fun!

I like your #1, #4, #6. #1 shows phenomenally little humans in a plastic scale board and it looks amazing with the effect. Very much so.

1. 4 (did I count right) is that arced part of a planet with the boards and jumping, works great.

1. 6 nice arch of the bool into the explosive scare/run of the guy, hands extending.

Yeah, a re-run but looks like not many have seen it. e-420 + F2.0 50mm.

Flowers for 4/3rds, for 4/3rds death, for the tombstone. Hah, not that seriously

Exit Olympus, stage right.



Does this mean I need a new hobby?
