Burned Offerings

Let’s see . . . technical shit: 14-45 lens, Olympus E-510, IS on, ISO 200, Adobe RGB. Manual focus, manual exposure, 1/125 shutter speed, F 6.3 and the lens at 45mm.

I’m very happy with this new camera; I initially saw it as an upgrade of the E500, which it definitely is not. The NMOS sensor gives a very beautiful tonal gradation (I don’t know what else to call it) and seems to handle highlights with less clipping than the old CMOS sensor. The IS is wonderful . . . in some cases, I’ve gotten sharp shots 3 stops slower than what I could have gotten without it.

Anyway, after the Olympus commercial I suppose I should get back to the picture. The picture just happened. An “F8 and be there” thing. My girlfriend and I were driving down the road on our anniversary outing and the building was there. Now it’s here.

I’m fairly happy with it. It’s straight from the camera without any manipulation, which is extremely rare for me.

    I’m glad that I took a closer look at this. I thought that it was an original acrylic abstract. Good catch.

    ahhh,
    the evils of convenience.
    machinery destroying retrospective beauty,
    and giving birth to an entirely new breed of art and all around simplicity.

    well done.
