A few recent landscape shots with Panasonic 7-14mm & EM5...
Light trail @ LuJiaZhui, Shanghai. F22. 15sec. ISO200. 7mm. Needed the longest of exposure so had to sacrifice some sharpness, and no filter holder yet.
Observatory, 100th floor, Shanghai World Financial Centre. F6.3. 1/40s. ISO200. 7mm.
Shoppes @ MBS. F4. 1/13s. ISO400. 7mm. Handheld.

May I know how you process with HDR?

I can still see the buildings details try if you're using LR try increasing the blacks and contrast few more to make the building darker this would result to a more silhoutte effect
And I see your Exif you're shooting f5 try pushing this a bit to f8 so you can have a much sharper sun and clouds
cheers enjoy your great toy EM5 (I'm still cant afford to get this cam maybe when i get my year end bonus hehehe)

Thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions. I actually bracket the shot and found that i like this one best. Its not completely silhouettey as you can still see some details on the buildings, and different shades of black, grey, dark gray on different buildings, ... which i thought brings some dimension to the picture which is otherwise 2 dimensional.
I know i should have used GND filters,.. maybe 0.9, but i dont have one yet. And i didnt do any post processing. This shot was straight out of camera jpg.
I didnt mention that i adjusted the S curve for highlight/shadow to +3/-3 to distinguish the contrast... but i guess you are right... f8 would have gotten the sun sharper as the focus was on the buildings.
I am still learning more about the new toy.
lots of stuff to explore. Wish i have more time playing with it.

Still looking at 2 primes .... 12mm and 25mm summilux
and probably 40-150mm for long zoom. Then my lens collection would be sufficient for any scenarios.
I'll try to make it for kopi this saturday....

25mm bro get it you wont regret it. 12mm still a bit too expenssive for me
but I would like to have this for landscape

i will... 25mm summilux f1.4 is the more versatile lens ... tho i wish it is as pancake as the 20mm f1.7 lumix lens.
12mm i actually have it on the 12-50, but the kits lens is really only for P+S and video .... for quality pics, primes are necessary. So, when i can afford, i'll get the 12mm ... hopefully in black (even tho i have a silver body) ... unless Krauz Schneider release a 10mm f2 at about the same price. ... but i dont think so. Olympus still makes one of the best lens at rather affordable price.

oh, thanks for the correction.
EM5 oly 75-300 at 75mm through display glass. Jpeg straight from camera. Natural
F4.8 1/60s ISO2500
Oly 75-300 at 300mm. Just a bit of crop. Jpeg straight from camera. Natural
F6.5 1/250s ISO 640 Braced elbows on railing.
Noticed that normal hand held shots, I need faster speeds. So I stuck with 1/500s the rest of the afternoon. Will try to find my acceptable speed for this long focal length.
Fun outing with the wife, didn't feel so tired even though I had a few lenses with me (with the 5d2 would've killed me), which I never used as the 75-300 was sufficien for this trip. Next time, I'll just bring the 45 and this lens.
