We were working at <a href="http://www.toembellish.com.au/">ToEmbellish</a> and at the end of the day, walked across the road to where the car was. Coming back, we spotted <a href="http://www.cakesofdistinction.com.au/">Cakes of Distinction</a> just a few doors away. It was evening by then, long shadows, high dynamic range, high contrast scenes. Marg had her favourite 12-60mm Zuiko Digital, I had the old Kodak P-880. I laughed that we had the "same" lens - equivalent 24mm to 120mm (the Kodak goes to 140mm and the Zuiko has shallower DOF).<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm tired and just happened to want one photo to end the day on a nice note, so I was happy to see this one in my collection.<br />
<br />
Although the P-880 is a small sensor camera (and "old"), with all the handicaps, this photo is in-camera rendered JPG, with very sweet colours.Ananda Simhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10687537365243419292noreply@blogger.com0Ascot Vale VIC, Australia-37.771723058797718 144.91523048574027-37.781524058797721 144.89465248574027 -37.761922058797715 144.93580848574027tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-157072870029378244.post-91867833009033655252011-07-26T09:49:00.001+10:002011-07-28T20:04:37.242+10:00Little Car and Dog<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32554587@N00/5973245103/" title="Little Car and Dog"><img alt="Little Car and Dog by Ananda Sim 88" height="640" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6132/5973245103_b1113964ea.jpg" width="490" /></a><br />

I've known Gerhard for a long time, and when I visited him, I drove up Glenfern Road. Being a city boy, driving up Glenfern Road is like a mini tour through the Victorian countryside. I started shooting here with the Kodak P880, as a test of the camera and my comfort with it. I've seen the bushfire season in summer and the (now) wet winter.<br />
<br />
Today was a sunny, windy winter's day - the unreal pastel blue sky, the bright golden sun playing hide and seek with the fleecy clouds. By the time I arrived here, the sun had almost given up the play - I was deleting old images from the memory card, waiting to walk back to the car and then the sun came out for the last time.<br />

But I've let this one pic per post idea lapse. Originally I set it up so that I could share a photo without fuss, share a few thoughts and remarks. Looking back over my previous entries, I am happy with what I've displayed, so here's to more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/5869167514_c0f8e1c343_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/5869167514_c0f8e1c343_b.jpg" /></a></div><br />
This is an impromptu portrait of the stall holder at the Grand Ridge Beer Brewery. It seems to be a Rotary Club organised Saturday Market at the Monash University Clayton Campus. Looks like a cosy place, only a few stalls orgranised in a U, entry by gold coin donation.<br />
<br />
For once, I was using the PEN in more difficult circumstances - I was with family and friends plus, I haven't yet got to know the people (and vice versa). In fact I was disconcerted by the frank and direct visual and facial communication with the "locals" - in the city, there is a sideways look of anonymity we practise on both ends of the camera.<br />
<br />
I was using my Olympus PEN E-PL1 with Tamron 28mm f/2.5 manual focus Adaptall 2 on a Four Thirds adapter on a Micro Four Thirds Adapter. I think there's some frosting on the little front element (fungus?) but shots shaded from side glare work fine and are indeed quite sharp. The moment some sun or light comes sideways onto the front element, there is a veil of flare.<br />
<br />
Still, it is a very enjoyable lens, focus is smooth, capable of producing shots with atmosphere - if there is bokeh, the bokeh is circular and not aggressive and the softness gives to me a naturalness.<br />
<br />
This shot was quite difficult - I was fumbling, he was kindly posing but I didn't want to tire out my welcome - his face was in shadow, there was direct light on white things on the table. Tighter framing and cropping has helped and I let go of Picasa and instead used Olympus Viewer 2, worked on the RAW file, slowly bringing up some colour and vibrance to the face, darkening the fabric.<br />
<br />
Hope you like it, I do.Ananda Simhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10687537365243419292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-157072870029378244.post-29412143948912116322009-09-20T20:50:00.001+10:002009-09-20T20:53:26.690+10:00Essence of Blackburn LakeI haven't been back to Blackburn Lake for a while.
