websites are like istanbul: destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed, rebuilt, name change! (built up, fall down, destroyed.)

please bear with us (me) during technical difficulties.

kamera infografik________19 April, 2011

also, i made this camera infographic awhile ago (back when i had free time).  it’s supposed to make it easier to understand what variable influences what on a camera, but (like so many infographics) it may just make things prettier rather than more comprehensible.  pay special attention to the footnotes (since they’re so informative).

e-pl1 sample images (14-42mm lens); portrait & macro________21 June, 2010

hey all!  i’ve been down in the southerlands of maryland for my grandfolks 65th anniversary.  wow.  that’s a long time to be together.  and they’re still gettin’ along grand.  anyways, while i was down there, i tested out the olympus e-pl1 (which i had exchanged my e-620 for due to lens adaptation problems).  by all accounts, the e-pl1 will do wonders with my old FD lenses and as soon as my adapter shows up, i’ll be posting some images to show the results.  but in the meantime, check out some photos from maryland and the fam.  it’s also a pretty good test of the e-pl1 in a lowlight situation–most of the indoor shots were taken at ISO 1600; not too noisy, really.  the lens is also capable of some exceptional macro, though i feel it is sometimes a bit overenthusiastic with its highlights (a problem which diminishes at around ISO 200).  the lens collapses into an incredibly small profile and i have to give olympus credit for creating an all-arounder zoom lens that can be fit inside the footprint of a 50mm FD and is 1/2 the weight.  the plastic construction feels frustratingly cheap, but (for plastic) it’s not bad at all.  feast!
