Hi Conor. I remember as a child hearing my grandparents talking about "Jack Frost" and believing for ages he was a real person! Scared me witless!
He makes for some great photos though and your three are lovely, especially the final one.
As a complete change of subject, I went to see "The Playboy of the Western World" the other night - a great Irish play.
Nice set here, I particularly like the first one where you have captured the frost around the edges of the leaves... might make a good high-contrast black and white study.
Thank you for all comments. I was using the Zuiko 35mm macro. it does quite a bit of hunting for focus on the E1 but sometimes I'm very pleased with the outcome. I also found cropping with the 5MP sensor to be a delicate operation as in "less is more". I have learned quite a lot on the forum especially looking at other peoples posts. "A lot done and a lot more to do"

Ever wondered what happens the dark when the light is switched on?

Typical Lyn, I have never seen "The Playboy of the Western World" It's one for the "Bucket List". I read it while at school a few years ago!! cough!!, was on our course. Glad you enjoyed.

I agree with John that No 1 could make a superb B&W conversion, do you mind if I have a go as part of my own learning experience?
However, my favourite of the three is No 3, doesn't the E-1 handle reds brilliantly?

When I use the 35mm Macro on my E-1, I find I get better results by setting Manual Focus on the little side lever, then winding the lens out to just past 1:1, then moving the camera to focus. With a little practice, and good light, you can get a much bigger image than you at first though possible. Hope this helps
The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.

Please do John. I would like to see that myself. Yes the red is almost like candy.
The MusicMan said "might make a good high-contrast black and white study."
I don't know how to go about a "high-contrast". Is that just setting the contrast level up in PP?

Thanks for the advice. I will try that.

Here we go, Conor. There are several ways and numerous programs to convert a colour image to B&W; I happen to use Silver Efex and use the film simulation presets to get the look I'm after. In this case I wanted a punchy, high contrast effect and by trial and error I found that the Kodak PlusX 125 PX came closest to what I wanted. I then increased "Structure" (which seems to control highlight and shadow contrast) by 46% and increased overall contrast by 20%. What do you think?
