The Olympus E-system thread

As was suggested I am starting a thread for my uploads so as not to eat up too much real estate in the "Still Photography" thread. I am hoping all who shoot with Olympus E-System cameras will post here also:) Wouldn't you know it, I have nothing new to upload :D
 
OK...I'll start the new thread with these three taken on Canada day 2007:)

I find it interesting that you cropped your images instead of using the native 4:3 aspect ratio of the system.

Do you do that for all your images, or just for these?
 
I crop for a variety of reasons....beer cans floating in the foreground, blurry seagulls, just because I can and then these, to fill a three image frame I was given. :)
 
Man... that last one is VERY disorientating. At first glance I unknowingly cocked my head in several directions trying to figure out what was going on.

I think I like it:thumbsup:
 
again Mino....great eye. You have, in my humble opinion, a knack for taking some absolutely slamming photos without making appear that you are trying too hard. Just very straight forward, beautifully composed, interesting shots. No funny business. I love 'em.


EDIT: By the way, if it doesn't rain Saturday, I am planning on going out to shoot. I'd LOVE to try my hand at HDR photography. I've never been too successful at it...I've tried it with 1 photo and afterwards....the photo was more evenly exposed but lacked something. Any insight as to what I should be considering? I'm thinking a subject matter with light and shadows? Not really sure....
 
Thanks!...To put it in perspective, my " knack for taking some absolutely slamming photos without making appear that you are trying too hard" is more likely a knack for picking some shots that work. I go out and shoot sometimes 150 or so shots and when I'm done I may have 1-5 that are worth a hoot. It's a selection process with me, 200 shots in an afternoon and in an evening review I'll narrow it down to two then maybe post one. I wish I could say every shot was a winner but then I'd be trying hard:)

Thats about my shooting ratio. Im not disheartened by where I choose to point my camera or even my comp really...my shortcomings mainly lie in getting the photo to represent how I see it or remember it. Thats between me, my camera, lens choice, and color correction I suppose...

Tomorrows weather report "Sunshine along with some cloudy intervals. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 58F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph." could be ideal. But I am trying to cram as much HDR info I can muster.
 
Tanks, just a minor levels adjustment and I pushed the greens and reds a little using selective colors adjustment.
 
No words:shocked:
I love the one with the windows in it. I looks like 3d work. Its so strange, all the people that works in 3d tries to achive the most photorealistic shots that they can, and here we have, a photograph that looks 3d (or it may be that I'm starting to mix them).
