Sometimes I find it so amusing looking at the descriptions of all the big guns and mystifying numbers used to get these great shots I see here that it made me want to post at least one from my lowly Brownie with the film cover ducked taped on.

Thank you but no film. I just did not want to be embarrassed by my lowly Olympus with all these big guns on here posting these great photos.

I say you're lowly Olympus (as you say) can play with the best of the big guns. This is a great image, excellent eye contact and bokeh to die for. (I see some noise in the image though).

Great pose, Jim! There's a guy who shoots a digiscope/camera phone combo so don't fear the big guns.

Kudos to you.

Great capture.

Goes to show you that it isn't the equipment as much as it is the operator of the equipment.

It's not the guns ...................... It's the bullet that's important.
Nice shot.

Hey Jim, one thing for sure, you better get it right the first time with film and you did! Nothing wrong with film, just the long eager wait to get the results Nice feel in this image, I like it

Very nice shot Jim,

I always say "I don't care what brand camera you shoot, just as long as you know how to shoot with it".

Nice shot

A great photo is a great photo, makes no difference on equipment, more fun to get them with talent

So what your trying to say is: Your better than us because you didn't have to use
the big guns gear to get this photo?

And you find it amusing that we "NEED" our big guns?
