The Olympus E-system thread

And so he brings out the forty seven million 8x10 color glossy photos with the circles and arrows on the back explaining what went wrong with each and every one of them.....Seriously, I take oodles of useless shots, experiments mostly that went wrong. Every once in a while an experiment goes right and I post it here. I love it when I'm inspired by someone else's stuff because I get butterflies thinking about how I'm going to try and use their method in my stuff. In short, yes I take bad photographs but for some reason I tend to favor the better ones in my posts:)
 
Another test of the new lens w flash. This is Mini awakened from her morning nap. This one makes sure there are zero flies or bugs in the house.

This wine glass has been in this same spot for months, when the tide goes out it's always there, in the same spot.

Which E-series camera and lens do you use? Your images have that Adobe Photoshop nonsense in the EXIF info.
 
My main squeeze is the e-510, I own an e-500 also but rarely use it. lenses are all Zuiko 4/3 and include 14-45mm 1:3,5-5,6, / 40-150mm 1:3,5 -4,5 and a 70-300mm 1:4-5,6

I think the EXIF data goes away when one goes HDR such as in the last shot of the wine glass.

Ah, that makes sense. I had scrolled to the bottom of the page when I decided to check out the EXIF info, and the other files do indeed have the camera and lens info.

That's one of the better HDR images I've seen, they are usually easy to spot because they look so overprocessed. I didn't even realize that the last image was HDR until you pointed it out.

I've got three E-series cameras, a venerable E-300, an E-510, and an E-3. Olympus rocks!
 
The e-3 is on my wish list at this point slated to purchase this fall or next spring. I almost picked up another 510 the other day so I could avoid switching my lenses so much. That was the idea when I got the 510 as a mate for the 500 but the 500 isn't the same joy as the 510 so it just whimpers quietly in the bag more often than not:)
 
This one was in my garbage file but I realized that it went with the one I posted earlier of the building on the water with the sail structures. From the spot I took that image, if you were to turn 180 degrees you would see exactly this image.

Driving by the airport today I saw this aircraft do a missed approach so I tromp it and head for the end of the runway. The aircraft landed safely but was followed down the runway by fire trucks and safety vehicles and parked for a few minutes just off the runway. I'll always wonder what the problem was.

Here's an extreme blowup of a really long shot (the length of the airfield) you can see the fire trucks closing in on the aircraft and also a couple of ground crew watching me?

If I had to guess I'd say the crew of the aircraft didn't have three green lights on the landing gear and did a fly by for a ground visual inspection that's why there were four or five guys at the runway thresh hold. It was probably a false indicator light in the cockpit. Once the ground guys confirmed the gear seemed to be down and locked, the aircraft landed safely and was received by the entourage of fire trucks as normal protocol for this type of event.
