While most of you long time devotees of the micro 4/3rds system are aware of the capabilities this equipment, as a new I'm continue to be surprised. This was shot with a M5 MKII, 40-150 f/2.5 @ 150mm, 1/4 a second, f/2.8, ISO 1600 handheld. I realize this shot is a long way from being good, but given the conditions, not too bad...for me.
I have been in the former Soviet republic of Moldova for the past 6 days, doing a facilities engineering assessment. I didn't have a lot of time for photos, unfortunately, but I did get out for a few short bursts. I wanted something good, convenient, cheap and small, so I brought my E-M5 with 14-42 kit lens and the cheap and small Olympus 40-150 f/4-5.6. Here's an assortment of the shots:

First off, the Arcul de Triomf with the Moldovan ministry building behind, and protesters camped out along the street:
This made my day, great shots. Moldova is our sister country, actually a historical part of Romania that fell under Russian control during the WWII. Famous for the red wine, beautiful girls and... let's just keep it at that since we're family men
Unfortunately the russian interests still keep the country in a insecure economical and political climate, and while many people in both our countries talk about the reunification it's probably a dream for the next generations.
Awesome. I think I'm going to plan a trip up to highway 17(?) which goes through Chama, NM and Antonito, CO. I want to catch the Cumbres-Toltec train (shooting it, not riding it) while colors were out, but I haven't gone up there yet and checked it all out, as it's 3 hours away.
Seeing your photos makes me believe there will be some color up there when I drive (probably take a day off of work to do it).

Cumbres Pass (Highway 17) is one of my favorite rides. Usually, the fall colors are fantastic along that route. There are very few places along the highway where the train crosses so it could be difficult to shoot the train in route, but not impossible.
