Nice work. I like the feeling of space in many of the shots.
I keep coming back to my 17/2.8. Underrated lens.

Photos in half light often look either too daylight or too night to me. Your half light exposure is spot on. Nice.

Thaks guys!!! I really appreicate the support and encouragement!
Yeah, the little Oly 17/2.8 was the first lens I bought for my m43 system. Have taken many really good photos with it. Have always found it to be a solid performer, even if not inspirational. Sometimes the 17mm FL is just perfect, especially for landscape shots like these.
I have decided to start looking for a bargain used Oly 17/1.8, not so much for the wider aperture or slightly better quality, but more for the scale focusing. Since my girlfriend loves going out and taking night photos, the scale focus and VF-1 would be a really nice combo. Been shooting my Industar-69 at night mostly for its scale focusing and made a little cardboard finder... will be posting photos from this sometime.
Best all!
