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!

Grabbed this shot quickly out of the car on my way to work this morning. We’ve been having great skies since the weekend, have taken at least a dozen shots so far  "Great skies" | Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/4, ISO 200 One from yesterday. It’s quite difficult do get good results in post-processing when the lighting isn’t ideal. The slightest bit too bright or too dark (or the wrong color temperature, for that matter), and I don’t get the pix to look right. Add to this that I was tired from the heat today … I hope it looks decent, anyway.  "The chain" | Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.8, 1/125 sec, ISO 200 Yesterday and today I was shooting the Olympus again – I’m currently giving the Leica a few days off E-P1 + Lumix 45-200 = LOVE! That’s why I couldn’t possibly sell the E-P1 (apart from its portability and fun factors): I couldn’t ever get this close to things with the M8 – just not possible! So, no second lens for the Leica soon  "Blue/Moon" | E-P1 + Lumix 45-200 @ 200mm, f/8, 1/200 sec, ISO 200 I cropped the original image significantly (to a size of 1400px, then resized it to 700), which I think works great for web use! No, says Efix. ISO 6400 is always going to look horrible with the E-P1. I’ve done some ISO 4000 black-and-whites when light was really low or I needed fast shutter speeds to freeze movement, and even when resizing to web format they looked awfully grainy (although they were still quite usable!) But Ctein’s processing technique is intriguing nontheless, and he did indeed manage to produce some results that can be used as emergency solutions. But still, I wouldn’t.
