Post Your Micro 4/3's Images
Ok, it's been too friggin' hot to go out and shoot but I was wanting to play around with my new Olympus Pen E-PL1 but then I figured I would play anyway. Indoors.
And so lurking and hiding in the deep bowels of my fridge (well not quite) I found this bad boy. OK, so maybe we don't need another thread for posting your pics but I thought it would be cool to limit the postings in this one of only still life images you set up yourself and have made with whatever 4/3 camera you use, preferably the micro series but I guess the standard 4/3 format would be OK. You don't have to post a pic of your setup but I encourage you to post some of the details such as camera, lens, lighting, exposure, etc.
So show me rotten fruit, vegetables, etc. I bet some of you got some pretty nasty stuff metamorphosing in your fridge. Well, at least say that you do just to make me feel like I'm not alone in this area. Otherwise my feelings might get hurt.
My first example is a pear that has been in the fridge for at least a couple of months. I posted a shot of a pear some time way back using Polaroid film in a 4x5 camera and so I thought this would be a fun subject to do again. I think this pear still looks edible to me.
Here is the setup. Pretty simple shot using the spare bedroom as the stage for the still life and natural window light coming from the right and forward of the camera position. The background is the plain earth tone colored wall of the spare bedroom. The pear was placed on top of a pine board which I had left over from a recent furniture build project I completed a couple weeks ago. The board was placed on top and spanned across two 24" bar stools and held in place with a woodworkers clamp. I used a Photoflex Lite-Disc for bouncing some fill light onto the left side of the pear.
The camera is my Olympus E-PL1 with my 24mm f2.8 AI-S Nikkor using the Nikon mount adapter and held steady with my 30 year old Bogen 3021 tripod and 3047 head.
You guys turned me on to the micro 4/3 and so I know several of you like to use this format so have some fun with this. Best part is you don't have to venture out and deal with the heat and humidity. Stay indoors in cool comfort unless you use your patio or garage for the setup.

The completed digital image. Exposure: 2 sec. at f5.6, ISO 200
Hmmm....I wonder what else I have in the fridge? :scratch2:
