OM-D Fish Fry Shoot

[Keith]

Turning off the LCD display isn't exactly obvious ... not sure that I would have ever figured that out without help!

Sigh ... where's my OM-1? 😛

Doug, for that first show you must be really tall. 😀

Wonderful shots, but if you'd shot less you would have created one masterpiece shot. 😛

Paul: Big pieces of fish seem to be a New York state thing. The place we usually patronize here has pieces so big that we buy one piece with extra sides for the two of us in our house.

So is Doug going to do the follow up to this series where we go to an ER ward and watch them putting the paddles on someone who has finally clogged their arteries totally with this stuff? 😀

Doug -- I'm really not that far from Skaneateles ... 😀

Great series, Doug, thanks for posting, and the thoughtful commentary. I don't know how much longer I can resist getting an OMD...

Now *THAT* is art.
Good job putting the camera on its paces, Doug.
Lots of OM-D future owners are drooling at the moment.

Wonderful shots, loved the results. How about keeping it at ISO3200 indoors instead of auto-ISO (blurs sometimes devastate the picture)? The new generation sensors can easily handle 3200 until colors start to "bleach" afterwards. At worst case apply some NR or use Topaz.. This OM-D is a marvel for AF and image stabilization too..

I try to use auto-iso when I'm not too worried about either noise or blur...when I wanted blur I definitely set the ISO lower, and when I wanted to stop action I set it on 3200. Probably what you're seeing in this small set is my taste in photographs. There are photos without blur.

The stabilization is great. Some of those blur shots were done with fairly long exposures (1/3 of a second or even 1/2) with a simple monopod, which is also how I got the high up shot (just set a self time and hoist her up there, try to frame through the LCD, titled down.)

Thanks. I'm totally in love with that image...

Ha! Don't be afraid to push buttons, you can always reset to factory settings if it doesn't work out! I would also highly recommend the DPreview user's guide to the EM5.
