Here's a Photo for Today... from a local market...

Olympus 45mm f/1.8 @ f/2
I've been really impressed with the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 lens. It's super sharp, has good bokeh, and will definitely be one of my go to lenses for a while. Plus is looks really cool!
Mmm, bad amp. It doesn't go to 11.
My friend needed a new photo for an ID card, so I just snapped this outside. C&C on how I can improve portrait photos is appreciated!

Yum! this reminded me that I'm out of sweets. And it's a nice photo, too.A quiet corner of Ulverston...
Actually, this is a nice photo. I was going to joke about this being the model for the aliens in Independence Day, but I won't...Thank you very much for the kind words!

Great color and light. How are you liking your new camera?

No, it was one of my last set of photos with the 5D2. some roadside poppies. the 5D3 was waiting for me patiently in a local area camera store while I was out of town. We were finally united yesterday!
Thanks! It's a great upgrade, I did it mainly for the greatly improved sensor.
All the other nice modern bells and whistles like video were a bonus.
I was disappointed with my previous camera's (K20D) low ISO shadow noise on longer exposures, which gave little leeway for pushing and pulling tones. This was a shame because when shooting in my favourite environment, I like to underexpose and pull up.
Briefly considered the 5D III, but in a practical sense the K-5 better fulfilled my requirements for 1/4 of the price of the 5D III.
The K-5's sensor makes a world of difference - you can pull up a RAW file cleanly from near black, and practically speaking that's very useful, and it's AF locks much better in low light (behind stacked ND filters), very impressed

Very nice fluid lines in this photo. I like the background/subject contrast. It's a little centered, but I'll give you a pass on that...Ladyslipper

Thanks ...Waited probably 2 weeks for this thing to open up . Had the 100 and tripod waiting for it . I'm using a big piece of black mat board for the background , trying to keep it out of the DOF . Doing shooting in the glassed in front porch of my house , which gets all sorts of great light in the morning. Kinda hard to use the rule of thirds on this one.
