You always seem to fill your frames properly with the subject, something I'm still struggling with. The photos have a great balance to them.<br /><br />I have one question though: how do you go about approaching subjects on the street? Do you ask for permission to take a photo or just shoot? I've tried to do some street photography, but I'm often afraid to get close enough to get good photos. You can check some of my work over at my blog, if you like :) http://www.matiasautio.com/ Thanks!Matias Autiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852940315426692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-10207069321484762472015-12-05T01:01:45.732+08:002015-12-05T01:01:45.732+08:00I've been following your blog and this is my f...I've been following your blog and this is my first posting.

When the EP5 was introduced in 2013 I considered buying one but the cost then for me was a bit high. I found a truly great price on a new EP5 last week and pulled the trigger without a lot of research on what menus/settings were different from what I was experimenting with for the OMD E5ll. I wanted a second body for travel and certain situations. The EP5 remains a very cool camera and I look forward to putting it into use. As an aside, I hope that Olympus is paying you well as you are a great ambassador for the brand! You teach through the lens showing what their products are capable of and your photographic eye is just a joy to look at.

I learned quite a lot about setting up my OMD E5 ll from your OMD "cheat sheet" piece.

Yes, sometime...Great read and accompanying images. Yes, sometimes one wants or needs images to WOW, to impress the viewer or client. But there is also something to be said for the as-is aesthetic, known in Japan as "sono-mama"--appreciation of things the way they are, un-manipulated, as the human eye(s) see them. I started out in photography around 1970 with a 50mm lens on a 24x36mm camera, aka "full-frame." Over the years--man it's been decades!--I've switched to and from wide angles to zooms to telephotos. Now I've returned full circle to the 50mm albeit on m4/3's with a 25mm/1.8 lens. It's comforting to use, and relates closely to my internal visual memories as well. ulfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068853425975404840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-49499023348888261412015-12-01T09:17:20.507+08:002015-12-01T09:17:20.507+08:00Thanks Andrea for the kind words.

It is quite impredictable though: it appears once every so many photos at speeds between 1/60 and 1/200. My solution? I shoot important photos twice, because it does not happen every time, and very rarely twice in a row.

The firmware was updated to the latest version and the anti-shock settings were set but at speeds below 1/320 s I did not manage to get really sharp photos. I had to sent it back which mad me really sad because I want this camera! But maybe there was something wrong with it. It was refurbished. Are you experiencing absolutely no shutter effect at all?

I have no issues even though I am Windows 10. I remember that Panasonic procedure is to put an executable or binary file on the SD card and then the camera runs the update, no need for cable or connection. Is that possible, viable with Olympus bodies? 90% or more seem to have got their update, a small percentage have problemsAnanda Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687537365243419292noreply@blogger.com
