“Pitsch-Patsch-Plitsch-Platsch!” Emil having fun with a bucket of water on our balcony! Converted to b&w in Lightroom 3, added some vignetting and grain, applied some burning to the background and some dodging to the water droplets.  "Splish Splash" | Leica M8 + Biogon 35/2 @ f/2, 1/90 sec, ISO 160 Hi everyone, I’m back from vacation in Tyrolia, Austria, and have brought with me huge amounts of pictures! In fact, I’ve taken so many pix I still have some left to process. We’ve had a wonderful time there, and even though the weather was mixed and unstable, we enjoyed a few sunny days and did a lot of hiking. Emil had the greatest fun having all his grandparents around, and learned a lot of new things. We’re back refreshed and with loads of new energy! As I announced earlier, I’m going to write a guest article for Steve Huff’s site, about the Zeiss Biogon 2/35 ZM on the Leica M8 and Olympus E-P1. This article will feature quite a few pictures from our trip to Tyrolia, and I will also put up a dedicated gallery as soon as I’ve got all pictures processed. For now, I’d like to present you with some snaps from yesterday evening, when we had wonderful golden light and a great cloudy sky, which allowed for some beautiful captures! The pictures were taken with the E-P1 and either the Lumix 20/1.7 or the kit zoom, using (where applicable) the new-to-me Olympus VF-1 optical viewfinder, which is a great addition to the E-P1+20/1.7 combo.  Golden hour above the fields | Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/5, 1/640 sec, ISO 200 This weekend we had wonderful weather – it was neither to warm nor too cold, the sun was shining half of the time with clouds intermittent. Very nice for a little foray to the botanical gardens of the university. This time, I took only the M8 with the 35/2 Biogon attached, to see if I needed more than one focal length at such an occasion. As it turned out, I didn’t Here’s a selection of pictures, all shot at f/2 if I recall correctly.  Vines and a little lake Every now and then we are being reminded what the most precious and valuable things in our lives are, and that we should always cherish them.
I love you! |
