Olympus Photo Thread

Agreed, two thumbs up :)

Cheers, Don

Thanks Phil and Don. Just the right place and time and a good burst mode.

Out with the 50mm macro today.

Dang kgosden, you are on a roll! I like all of the last three quite a bit, but the butterfly has to be first choice.

This is probably beating a dead horse (horrible pun) since I've been in China and Russia for the last two months, but some more from the first half of my time in Mongolia. I'll have to make a concerted effort sometime to choose and re-edit the best ones.

Nice series Raven

Raven,

Love the colors in that first shot of the fields. Is the one further down a double rainbow or the sun behind a storm cloud? Either way it is stunning.

It is sorta both, but the one I think you are talking about is a double rainbow beside some gers. It is with the 9-18mm, right before I took out the 35mm to make a panorama. My standard processing makes the tones better, but hurts the subtle colors like the green in the rainbow I think. But then my current monitor sucks, so I don't really know. Here are the panos, with and without standard processing, two cropped and two letting the exposure slide:

Raven, that's the one. I assumed it was a double rainbow due to the arc of the light. But it is definitely the overall color of the image that seems to be making it less rainbow like. The original is a little less red/yellow, but still seems to be lacking the blue/green end.

Out playing with a borrowed E-620 and my 50-200. Some hand held panning practice before tomorrow's race. Only get a few keepers out of every 20-30 shots.
