On my way back home from the department’s annual christmas party. I hadn’t had a chance to take a picture all day, so this sparsely illuminated phone booth came just right. I tried to develop it in colour first, but found it didn’t work so well.  Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/60 sec, ISO 2000 Hotel Marburger Hof, Marburg, Germany. We visited the christmas market in Maburg today, but it was terribly crowded, so we decided to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in the legendary Café Vetter instead. Should you ever visit Marburg, don’t miss their marvelous cakes! This picture was taken on our way back to the car.  Olympus E-P1 + Revuenon 50/1.4 @ f/1.4, 1/100 sec, ISO 400 The Revuenon 50mm is one of the lenses I got with my dad’s old Pentax SLR, and since I can’t afford the new M.Zuiko 45/1.8 at the moment, this’ll have to make do as a portrait lens / short tele. At f/1.4, it shows loads of spherical aberration and very low contrast, but sharpens up considerably from f/2 onwards. The “glow” wide open can have an interesting effect, though — especially in portraits. Today, I was looking for textures. This old fence had lots of.  Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/640 sec, ISO 200 Also today, my wife had her final exam for her oncology qualification, which she passed of course. Congratulations! Some powerful light was hitting the old university building just when the traffic lights across turned red, so I quickly snapped this one out of my car. Rarely ever got a picture this perfectly com- and exposed by just pointing and shooting …
 Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/4, 1/640 sec, ISO 200 Somebody lost their black, “Holger Schaumann” (probably a local business) labelled cap, on a hedge next to the daycare place where Emil has been going this week. I noticed it when I picked him up today. Only a few meters away, somebody had lost their gloves, which were all dirty and wet and had probably been lying there for some days.  Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/500 sec, ISO 200 One thing I like about my E-P1 is how great its JPEG output is. The colours are simply brilliant and extremely accurate, and with a little tweaking of the settings and careful exposure you get pictures that need no further processing. In fact, I have rarely been working with raw files from the E-P1 lately. |
