Welcome to the fold! It's not a perfect camera, but it gets a LOT right, and while the RAW files aren't quite up to what you can get with a current FF kit, they are certainly good enough for anything I use a camera for....I really like the files I get out it....and the weight savings is just huge for me.

Forced myself to find something interesting today, and found this little clover...struggling for life on a manhole cover in my driveway. OM-D with Oly 60/2.8 Macro:

Really cool capture, Jman, force yourself more often, please

Very nice!

Roses for my wife, photographic subject for me. Both with Oly 60/2.8 Macro. Second one is at 1:1...baby's breath is SMALL.

dukenukem,
Another fantastic image from you with the 9-18mm. F2.8 would be nice, but you seem to do just fine with f4. 6400 iso; did you apply strong noise reduction to this image?

Hainan Chicken Rice at a local restaurant. Not bad hope this place stays in business.

Some candids today of my daughter, with the Oly 75/1.8:

This type of photography takes a little work on processing;-)

Thought i would look in again, some superb sublime postings over the last while . Thanks for the messages both of you guys. You know I think we all have times when things are not good, even dreadful.It takes a lot of effort to except some things we have no control over at all and live trusting everything will be OK. Photography is one thing that can for many help to get out and think about something different, take a few photographs, play with the ideas within those images, be it content, composition, colours, tones form and the many elements that can bring thoughts ideas and emotions to pictures to convey something. In short a distraction but an enjoyable one at that. Photography at a point is also something that we may well have some control over what we produce.

A few images from recent outings.

Welcome back Juju!

Yes, welcome back, Julian! We certainly missed your postings. I just got back from shooting the Venice Mask Carnival so I have a ton of photos that I will have to go through which will take me some time.

Exceptional work on this page everyone. Julian, good to see you back.
