hi, I was stationed in UAE for more than a year, taking photos of locals are strictly no no, I guess these two are not locals or else they will stop you :)

Hi jungle_sg, you are quite right.......Either way If I can't shoot the local I can still always shoot the foreigners........shooting stranger is always the biggest challenge and that's why I love street photography so much.......the excitement and the suspense, the fear of being caught, the thrill, the elation, the anticipation, the reward.......always expect the unexpected......
You're machiam in the "twilight zone" series........you're never going to know what you will encounter next when you are in places and people you are totally unfamiliar with.......and still get that shot.......hehe!
THAT IS THE ULTIMATE ADRENALIN RUSH!

I'm equally sure other photographer shooting various genre ...(eg. like portraiture, fashion and sport to name a few.........) get as much rush/high as I also..........;)

Anyway why shoot simple and easy shot....No Fun lei!.....for me I will push myself as hard and far as I can go.......the harder it is the more I want to shoot but with a simple tool.

Here's a shot for you my friend taken at dusk in a crowded spice harbour along Dubai Creek.........Cheers!

Hi uncle Andrew,
*278* is so amazing and I love the details. So as the rest of this thread. I have been following your thread for a long time now. You are just using an Olympus and be able to capture such amazing pictures and this is one reason I make up my mind to ask my Dad to buy one. What I mean is that you dont really need a FF or DSLR to capture such details in this thread.I learned alot from your photos and I shall put it to practice. Thanks so much for sharing... more please...:)

Thank you MGohzxc, I'm glad you like my photostream.

Yes, "amazing pictures" can also be captured using Olympus cameras............without the bulk and weight.........but with much more added value ;)

It's a personal choice one has to make eventually.............as the "Compact Interchangeable System" or "Compact System Camera" gains traction, attention and sophistication.........


Will keep on sharing as long as the adventure goes on!


Here's one for you my friend taken with "Grainy Film" art filter................................ Enjoy!

I just realized this thread is made sticky. You does deserve the honour, photos here are among the best in CS. The colours and composition (especially) are perfect.

It's a shame I got similar/ better gear as you but none of mine can hold a candle with yours.

Thanks pchmj for your support and confident in my work.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a sticky tag made to my thread......Initially I still thought that I had mistakenly clicked on a wrong icon or tag to my thread and I was frantically trying to "un-tag" it..........lest that I might seemed to be trying to "overshadow" other people's work here............ hehe



You know....... I realized earlier on that it was not the camera's fault that most of my picture did not turn out well but it was largely due to ones lack of understanding and practice........

When I got my first DSLR Olympus E510 camera about 4 years ago........I was always blaming the camera for all the lousy pictures I took....even the aunties on the street told me that Oly cam cannot "make it" as compared to other top brand......hehe!


I was quite disheartened but began searching in the net and found many "beautiful photos" shot by amateur photographers using only Oly E510........It was then that I finally realized it was not the tool but the eye and the skill............


Here I'm not trying to say that my humble basic E-PL1 can out shoot other model/brand but rest assured it can always delivers 95% of the shots most of the times provided one used it to its capabilities and not trying to complete with a high end model to shoot fast action sports like that ............

To compare like this one can never ever be happy lah!..........;)

Even as difficult as it is, it still can be done successfully but one has to put in more effort and energy only lei ......hehe

So keep on snapping and have fun and learn to see the light!



​



Another shot for you my friend, Cheers!

Thanks Alpina for your kind words......

What a coincidence!......... As a matter of fact today 2 Olympus newest cameras have just landed onto my hands..........:bigeyes:


Mount Olympus has answered my prayers!.........at last!

Thank you all for your viewing and support.

Will put the E-PL2 and XZ-1 thru' its pace ......and post the pictures here as usual......

And also .........awaiting eagerly for the shipment of E-PL2's 3 adapters this coming May to shoot Macro, Wide Angle and Fish Eye without having to lug the big bulk and heavy weight of their 4/3 cousins.......one just have to only attach them to the front of the kit lens......simple and easy.......simply brilliant!


Life can only gets better and more interesting with more excitement from here on! :D



Here's one for you taken with Sepia creative art filter and the 16:9 format aspect ratio.


Enjoy my friend!
