Took this photo during the 70 yrs Market Garden events in my city. Did not only take photos of the veterans, cars and tanks. But also some details shots. I saw this crate filled with Coca Cola bottles in the back of a truck. I thought it looked cool, so I took this photo.
Last evening I used this photo to try out the Chrome Camera Profile from +Eric Cote that he just released. It gives the whole picture a different look and I like it very much. Just like the Fuji Classic Chrome film emulation that you find in the Fuji cameras.
You can find more about the Chrome Camera profile at http://www.mirrorlessjourney.com/blog/2015/1/chrome-camera-profile-for-micro-43.
At a later time I will write some more about this with some before and after images.
Last weekend I gave myself the difficult task to choose 12 photos from last year that I liked the most. I could have chosen many more but decided to settle for 12. Because there are 12 months in a year. 🙂
It was not an easy task. Some photos were easy to pick. For others it was more difficult and had strong competition. In the end I am happy with this selection.
Enjoy.
This photo was taken in the park near my home. The day before we had a lot of snow. For Holland at least. The next day I went to out to the park to make photo’s of the snow. The photo here is my favorite one. The sun was low and casting nice long shadows. When I walk around I not only look in front of me. But also up, down and back. And very often you find interesting scenes. The same with this one photo. The scene in front of me was boring. So I looked back and saw this scene. I moved around to find the best position where I could hide the sun as much as possible behind the tree.
In post processing I did not do very much. Just lowered the highlights a bit, increased the shadows, contrast and clarity. After that applied sharpening and a little vignette.
I own the E-M10 for a few months now. But never played with some of the extra and unique features of the camera. Today I decided to have a go with the live composite feature. My original idea was to go to the city center where are many fairground attractions this week.
But the weather was not so good. Lots of rain. I figured I could also use live composite for some kind of product shot and paint light onto the object with a small flashlight.
I had some fun doing it and this is the one I like the best. Will be experimenting more with this. Who needs studio lights or flashes when you have an E-M10 and a cheap flashlight. 🙂
Taken last August at the night of the super moon. Took the photo from the balcony of the hotel room. I did not have a tripod with me. So I placed the camera on the small balcony wall and used to used the self timer.
