5/5 #bluebells

A #macro shot to finish this year's #bluebell snaps from Chalet Wood in E #London 's #Wanstead Park. I used my #fourthirds #Olympus50mmf2 lens on the EM1iii for this shot.

5/5 #infrared

As I could only find a filter lens combination with the 35mm f3.5 #fourthirds #macro lens for my newly converted #fullspectrum #Olympus EM1ii it seemed appropriate to try a macro shot or two. So here's some #blossom from my local park in #680nm #ir.

2/5 #infrared
From my first snaps with a newly converted #fullspectrum #Olympus EM1ii in my local park.

A frantic search for filters that fitted a suitable lens led to a #fourthirds 35mm f3.5 macro lens - which is sharp and works well for distance shots as well as close-ups. (The zooms were too big for my filters and the primes too small).

Having a #microfourthirds #ir camera makes it easier to take it away with me as it has the same battery and lenses as my main EM1iii camera. And I had managed to scratch the glass over the sensor on the ii with some overenthusiastic lens adaption.

4/5 Lincoln's Inn

Looking up into the Victorian gothic tower of the Great Hall building in Lincoln's Inn.

The light was just right for this and makes it one of my favourite #lookingup shots.

3/5 Lincoln's Inn

The grand central foyer of the Great Hall building. The entrance to the library is the door in the middle. This is 19th century Victorian #gothic.

This is a vertorama with the #fourthirds #Olympus7_14mmf4 lens on my #Olympus EM1iii

2/5 Lincoln's Inn

Here's the #LincolnsInn #Library which you get to visit if you book on one of the tours. You have to be quiet and discreet as it's in use, but luckily not very busy when I visited.

#Olympus #fourthirds 7-14mmf4 lens on my Olympus EM1iii.

I often post a very recent snap on Sundays. This is one I took Friday when walking through woods in #Brentwood #Essex. I decided to take my ancient #Olympus E400 #fourthirds DSLR as I like its #ccdsensor. This is a panorama with quite a lot of post. It's spring but most trees are still bare.

2/5 #frost in the park

Shooting into the light with low slightly diffused sun gave this golden glow to this snap from West Ham Park.

I used my Sigma four-thirds 105mm f2.8 macro lens on my Olympus EM1iii for these.

1/5 #frost in the park

This week a set of snaps taken when we had a heavy frost a few weeks - unusual these days in London. I'm lucky to have West Ham Park @westhamparke7 on my door step.

I used my Sigma #fourthirds 105mm f2.8 macro lens on my Olympus EM1iii for these.

5/5 gig photos
To finish this set here's a #trumpet closeup snapped at the @vortexjazzclub.

The ludicrously heavy but very sharp 35-100mm F2 #fourthirds lens at F2 on my EM1iii.

1/5 gig photos

Last week I went to shoot a gig by the World Music Big Band at the excellent #vortexjazzclub in n London. I took lots of conventional shots of the players but also a few less conventional angles such as this.

For most of the shots I used my 35-100mm F2 #fourthirds lens at F2 on my EM1iii.

This a grey #squirrel in my local West Ham Park.

I took this with a new - slightly absurd - lens, a #fourthirds 30-100mm F2 Olympus lens, and that F2 is not a misprint. This seems to be a design where no-one cared about the weight or the cost. It's very heavy and was very pricey when launched.

But it very fast, very sharp and at F2 give what is a very narrow plane of focus on a #microfourthirds camera.

4/5 #macro #flowers

Another hand focus-stacked (but tripod mounted) flower close up with the Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro lens with the #fourthirds mount. I don't think any other third-party lens maker sold their APS-C products with a four-thirds mount, and they don't come up very often but this is a good buy if you have the right adapter for your Olympus.
