This is one of my faves, of my nephew Jonah

I like it too. Looks real good! Good photo with very good timing.

nice photos you took. were they taken using the pop art filter or the vivid settings?

Totally agree. Weekh is a masterful photographer.

try shooting at inifinity at more than 50 metres

why? Can u explain to me?

this is tempting!!! all pics so nice!

 

[eow]

why? Can u explain to me?

think better not ot in mr wee thread anymore
nothing special it what every 4/3 users already knw...the system inherently have a deeper depth of field due to the curse/blessing of the size of it sensor....it much easier to shoot a group with a 4/3 system than with a apsc and ff system.

it even more impressive what it can achieve with wide angle taken at fully wide open at inifinity..fyi my last try was a group at more than 50 metres away the pic is tack sharp.
:thumbsup:

I've just bought the 2 Lumix wide and tele zooms to complete the m43 setup.
Selling many stuffs in b&s... :cry: no $$$ to play with the manual lenses for now...

Oh what a pity. Those were very good stuff u have there. Thot u might have some experience with the legacy lenses on the LCD. Well there'll always be a next chance

Dun mind i ask which lens u used? The only 2 good wide ones i tried was the 7-14 but its F4 not 2.8 & the 14-35 F2. The other wide zoom i tried can't really pull it off, namely 11-22, 14-54. Those lower end kit lens no need to mention...

Some flower shots with the E-P1...

Nice big lotus flower. Shot in SBG? Next time i also want to try shooting flowers instead of the usual insects.

Not at SBG. Went down to the orchid farms at Sungei Tengah last weekend. There was a pot of lotus at one of the farms there. Shot taken with the kit m43 zoom lens.. not too bad for such a cheapo lens right?

Thanks. This is a shot of the Tiger Orchid... the flower of the world's largest orchid plant. They don't bloom that frequently but when they do, the sprays of flowers are spectacular ! The Tiger Orchids in Singapore seem to be blooming at this time... probably due to the looming weather changes like the El Nino. SBG has a few really large specimens and might be blooming at the moment too.

Wow nice le. So big & so close. Cud this be another "Close encounter of the 3rd kind II"? Stay tune to find out :bsmilie::bsmilie:

I'll need to do the pixel peeping on this one to see how the new kit lens perform. Wonder if there'll be a SHG lens for the pen series? :think: That'll be totally awesome!! Light & super duper quality! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the insight. Didn't know this. I think I should pay the Orchid Garden a visit.

Quite impressed with the performance of the kit lens.

the panny 14-50mm f2.8-3.5

the panny 14-50mm f2.8-3.5

Is it the Leica? Haven't tried that one B4. On the side note, why wud anyone wants to shoot a group shot at 2.8? Personally, i use 4 ~ 8 juz to be sure everyone in the shot looks sharp even on the 4/3 cams. I did some coverage for events b4 & its like a lecture hall size & full of people, i was on the stage, also use F4 on the 14-54 le, not 2.8 cos the DOF juz can't cover.

But i believe the bottom line is that every brand has their lenses optimised according to their sensor & technology integrated. This is the reason why there exist diff crop sizes & none looks bad at all. I personally dun believe there's one no.1 brand around.

Back to cosycatus comments on ambient light with 2.8, i think u can also get ambient light with F5.6, its a matter of balancing the DOF, ISO, shutter speed & lightings. If i had done it in F5.6 with ambient lighting, i dun see why only 2.8 can give that result. :think:


Edited: After some thinking about it, if the group shot is at 50m away, not really of a challenge technically. Reason being that if the lens hits infinity after 20m, then everything beyond wud look sharp, & that can be achieved easily with any brand. The challenging bits wud be the group shot at 5 - 8m away, really dun think 2.8 has enuf DOF for the job (providing its 3 tier group shot not single line).

Piranha attack ! Caught on camera by the E-P1 :bigeyes:

Was this taken at Kenko? Their business must be good - look at the size of the fish!

i didn't said 5.6 can't capture ambient lighting
i just said that 4/3 system had the advantage of having a greater dof..given the same f stop if u compare to apsc and ff at the same focal length and distance

No. At Qian Hu. I think only Qian Hu has such a huge concrete fish spa pool which can sit more than 50 people all round. In fact, they actually have 2 such pools, one with the usual small fishes and another with these huge fishes for the brave-at-hearts who desire stronger sensations.
