Final retirement? I find myself wondering why I keep a camera (OMD EM-5). Mostly a lifetime of use I suppose, from age 12-13, to 74. Couple years ago I gave it away. couldn't stand it, and bought another one, same model. Decided to really get back into it. Didn't last. The passion just isn't...

I have the Olympus E-M5i. I am now carrying it with a 35mm adapted lens. I am thinking of moving to a AF prime, in the same general focal length. I shoot almost all outdoors, in all light conditions, and am looking for the cleanest detail and color, that I can get. My budget is very tight. The...

This is mostly highlighting my other hobby, wood work. The boxes are for my wife and daughters. There are some not pictured here. This is my small basement workshop. there are some power tools, not focusing on them today. They are the primary tools used in making the boxes. I have the tools...

Been gone from the old SC forum for a long while. Came back, looking for it, and you folks were gone! But, someone in admin, was thoughtful to add a link, to redirect me here. I'm the old Steve Noel from KY, Alaska, and other places, I believe I was Snkenai, in those days. But now new location...

Today, I saw this. Tiny, lens-free camera could hide in clothes, glasses

My other hobby is wood working, with mostly hand tools. OK, so I won't give up my cordless drills! Decided to do a quick and crude prototype tool box to store, carry my most used tools in. Used some construction grade knotty Pine. With counter-sunk screws. The next version will be all...

Those moments that are seen and gone quickly. Feel free to add your fleeting capture, any venue. Opened the curtain this morning at sun up, after 4-5" new snow, and this was there less than a couple minutes, and was gone. Clouds hid the light.

Some thoughts: ...after SIJ. I did not do one every day, but did follow along as you all did. Some very nice work indeed! No more SIJ for me. Weather! Maybe a SI May/June, would be Better (for me). Spring/Fall most places in the world? Maybe a single image for each week, if every day is too...

Asked to set up the camera for some family pictures yesterday (Thanksgiving 2016), I pulled out the FL36 with homemade bounce defuser. I first did some test/setup shots to get the light balance that I wanted. It's been a long while, and out of practice. I just could not get it the way I wanted...

Hello, Been gone for a while, with the camera in Summer hibernation. Decided to break it out for the coming Winter season. When I searched out the PL, I found myself back in time, at SC, and thought I'd taken a serious wrong turn! What's this? And, Amin as a cartoon creature? Anyway the battery...

I started photography at age 12 or 13, with my mom, and the old brownie box 620. I am now nearly 70 (November), with the OMD 5, and the old OM 50mm. For many years I trudged on in my obsession of photography and the quest for the best equipment that I could buy or trade for, alone. Hoping to get...

One of my tests, living in cold country is: "Can it be operated with out removing gloves?" When I received my EM-5, I was skeptical of it's usability period, because of the tiny, close together buttons, etc. Now, after a couple of weeks, and less than 100 pictures, getting the settings basically...

Just thought I'd stop by for a hello, and to share the view. Don't do much photography lately. But, sometimes, just compelled to breakout the camera. Few days (nights) ago from my lawn. This one, is with the G5 and OM 50mm.

Didn't know where to post this. But, I guess, that it's news of sorts. As an out take from the thread, "things I've learned, this month", I have been re-evaluating, some things (photography) in my life, that have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I have realized after some months of...

Can the x100's battery be charged in camera via usb cable?

I understand that opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one. But, they are all different. The question, I am posing is NOT: Which is better built? Which has better IQ? Which has better color? Which is faster? ETC., Let me set forth a few stats, to couch the question. I am 68 years...

Thought I maybe, ought to post one, just to remind myself to keep shooting. Thanks Amin. End of another stormy afternoon. This afternoon. Or I guess not. Uploaded a photo. but will not display here. Oh well.:confused: Yes! Now we can. :dance4:

Snow about gone and Temp up! Flower pot Pine cone Garlic Deck Chair Dawn Sunrise over Kentucky

Anyone done a comparison? Being considering, for landscape/nature use. So, ability to cleanly resolve detail, with "calm" bokeh, is very important to me. Thanks,

Yesterday, was heavy rain. Early evening was freezing rain. Last night and this morning, snow and 16 F degrees. Not terribly cold, but not balmy either. Just after this was taken, it really began snowing. Tomorrow, and the next day, it will likely begin melting. YA! :yahoo:

These 57s and more, have sat on this lot for many years. I've planned to stop and photograph them, but just never have, until today. Too cold to get out and do it right. Maybe another day, when the grass gets green.

Starting over, with an almost clean slate. Selling almost all my gear. Kept a couple of OM mount lenses, (one of them is the OM 50mm, f3.5 macro) at least for now. Due to fixed income, that allows for very limited money, for my lifelong photography "habit", I will have to buy used. I almost...

Anyone with either of these. Impressions?

Having traded my E-p3 to my son for the old, lower level E-420, is going to push me, to work on my camera and PP skills. My first few images with it this week, left little doubt that I've been leaning pretty hard, on the abilities of the E-p3's JPEG, with some minor PP. So, until I become more...

In my advancing age and declining health, I have to ask my self, ...What is photography to me, that I after more than 50 years, I still do it? Up front let me say, I've always been a machinery guy. If it has well designed moving parts, I like it, and want to get my hands on it! As a...

Harvest is the farmers reward for a summer's work.

Take out, from November Nocturne Night (PAN). For those photos, not quite classified as nocturnal (darkness). Add yours. This, was as the wild turkeys were easing back into the woods, to "roost" for the night. They fly up into the tall trees. Note, the "hunter" cat, lurking in the lower right...

The simi-annual Tri county Car show held at the Campbellsville University (KY), had some beautiful works of auto-art. I took a few shots to give a feeling of the fair-like day and display. But, at the end of my walk through, I again went for a close up of a beautiful old truck with the side...

Fields and woods, around us are very infested with ants. They are trying to invade my space. Answer, Borax. Mixed with sugar water, they eat, take it back home, die, and if I understand it correctly; the living eat the dead and die also? Anyway, the first go around, we saw a greatly reduced...

This setup is one of the handiest combos for my "woods and field" trips. Few years ago, I bought the Pentax reversing ring that screws into the filter threads, and allows reversing the lens to allow "macro" with about any lens. Effect depends on the lens used. I never really used it until lately...
