re-discovering the joy of using the Olympus 75-300mm on a morning walk... :) (At one point the 75-300mm was my favourite lens of the system - but then I got sidetracked into the gassy idea of needing a better lens... Got the 50-200mm and 1.4TC - which definitely has great image quality... But...

Yes, those samples look really nice!

The biggest issue I have every time with a laptop is to make sure the screen is somewhat “calibratable”. (Calibratable is the wrong word - since I’m not actually calibrating it. It’s more to get reliable/repeatable viewing settings in order to be somewhat consistent in color work). My current...

An April fools thing maybe? :)

When I bought my first Ricoh GR ten years(ish) ago I was taken by surprise that the manufacturer-supplied raw converter (Silkypix at the time) didn’t produce results that were even remotely close to the in-camera jpgs. Coming from Canon, Nikon and Olympus cameras, I just assumed that it was the...

Haha, thank you! :) I’m actually trying to work more towards photos that work together as a set - and maybe even tell a story - or a mood. I’m still not very good at it - but it’s something I’m trying to get better at :)

Hang in there, Ovi (and everyone else) :care: I also don't have any wisdom to share - other than that sharing your experiences hopefully helps you, as it does others... It's good (and sad) to hear other people share their struggles - it makes ourselves feel less like an outlier. (Especially in...

first nice morning walk in Forest Park... Slowly getting through the stress of another move... morning walk by tilman paulin, on Flickr Trillium by tilman paulin, on Flickr Untitled by tilman paulin, on Flickr morning walk by tilman paulin, on Flickr

really loving these! Looking forward to visiting Bend again (hopefully soon)

You could test either focal lengths’ perspective with one of your zoom lenses to see whether you have a preference. The 75mm might flatten the faces too much - certain focal lengths look more pleasing with certain faces… Might not be a very noticeable difference in the end, but worth testing :)

If I were at this stage in editing on a bunch of my own photos, I’d hit the “reset” button in C1 and use the Lightroom result as a visual guide, to see whether I can achieve the same look with a few basic adjustments. Once you went too far overboard on a photo-edit, it’s best to start over. :)...

While the 2400USD make it ‘less attractive’ to me as well, it sounds ‘less outrageous’ once I looked up the initial MSRP of the EM1 mk2 - which was 2000USD… It’s only the original EM1 that was released at 1400USD… (which would be a ‘very attractive’ price today ;)

Like everyone, I'm disappointed by these announcements... The OM1 mk2 makes an already expensive camera even more so... the 150-600mm's price difference to the Sigma versions is also tough to swallow... I don't think they would have met this level of meh/disappointment had they priced the mk2...
