Olympus gets it right

After a long journey to reach this milestone, Olympus has got it right. Firstly the really competent OM-D / EM-5 that is attracting attention from hardened Canon / Nikon DSLR owners (and this before any advertising commenced). And the Olympus Australia gang has upped their visual impact like, awesomely striking

I encounter people discussing whether the Micro Four Thirds this or that could compete with a Canon DSLR or lens and what is the shock, horror, equivalence of f/1.8 from Micro Four Thirds in Full Frame terms.

What is the equivalence of this?

Is it this?

Are you serious? There is no equivalence.
Just rock back. Take off the “mine is bigger than yours attitude”. Enjoy. Seize The Day!

The Reflect Verb

Whoa, it's been quite a hectic period in my photography, thanks to Marg Wong, the fun gang at the Melbourne Photowalk on Google+ and encounters with the Melbourne Street Togs Facebook group.

I'm posting more and most of my photos more frequently to G+ (it's addictive) and my flickr account is languishing. Will have to correct that soon. Before I get waylaid by words (the downfall of several nights now, let me share my latest favourites.

This is my favourite from my walk along Toorak Road, South Yarra. Slightly darkened for the patina, hand held with the 20mm f/1.7 Lumix on my Olympus PEN E-PL1.

Since I got the lens, I've experienced a few answers to questions of image "look" (I refrain from using the often misconceived words image quality)

This second shot is the most bokelicious I've ever made.

More later...
