• The Photographer’s Eye

    I have been sick the past few days, and last night, I had the urge to shoot a little, but I sure as heck wasn’t going anywhere.  So, I tried ‘self eye macros’, which aren’t particularly easy.  Luckily, the OM-D and 60mm macro have pretty good autofocus, so I set up my camera on a…

    Quick Impressions: Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens

    Earlier this year, Olympus announced one of the odder lenses for Micro 4/3.  A $49 ‘lens’ that doubles as a body cap: The 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens  This is what you could call an ‘ultra-pancake’.  And, like it’s name implies, it’s roughly the same size as a standard Micro 4/3 body cap.  The lens…

  • A Cold Evening

    For the first time in a long time, I really got a chance to go out and shoot for a bit.  I went downtown after work and got some shots of the sunset and the city at night.  I’m very much a proponent of the ‘gear doesn’t make the shot’ crowd, but on evenings like…

  • The City at Dusk

    Tonight on the way home from work, I stopped to capture this. The sun was nearly below the horizon and the sky was overcast, but just enough sunlight remained to give a kiss of light to the windows of the city.

    Panasonic and Olympus have been very busy the past few years, filling out their lens lineups for Micro 4/3, and while there have been some consumer grade lenses released in this time frame, both Olympus and Panasonic have really targeted the high-end enthusiast and professional with their recent lens offerings.  At first, Micro 4/3 had…
