ROBIN WONG

 People often overlook and underestimate what a kit lens can do, but I believe they are versatile and fully capable in delivering awesome results. Here is the harsh truth - even if you upgrade to the sharper, more expensive, higher PRO grade lens, it won't improve your photography a bit. The kit lens is often more than sufficient in most shooting scenarios, and I am proving that it can shoot beautiful images with my recent shutter therapy outings, using the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 on my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Original. I have also made a video to share my thoughts here (click). 

 The adventures with the fun toy camera, Kodak Charmera continues! This time, I brought it out to shoot some nice portraits of my friend, Lily and I thought it would be fun to try out the black and white feature this time. While the images do appear very low in resolution due to the 1.6MP sensor used in the Kodak Charmera, image quality isn't the priority of the session. I intentionally added coarse grain in post-processing to take off some of the artificial digital smearing of details, rendering less plasticky looking results. The unexpected outcome was that these images look like they were cut out from newspaper! Another day, another fun outing with the Kodak Charmera!
