Back after almsot 4 years :) Some photos from Assateauge Island

just x joey · Nov 26, 2012

Wow. I havent posted on here in forever! Decided to really dive back into photography. Sold off my dusty DSLR gear (had a d80, d90, then d7000 for a few months) and bought a Olympus OM-D EM-5 with 45mm 1.8 lens.

Here's a few shots i took yesterday evening when i had about an hour to explore Assateague Island National Seashore.

Now excuse me while i update my signature

I just sold all my DSLR gear and have been on the fence on whether or not to purchase the OMD and seeing these picks makes me want to go ahead and buy one. I see you used the 45 lens. Do you own or know anyone that owns the PanaLeica 25 that they pair with the OMD? I have pretty much set my mind on the OMD, but am up in the air on the lens (prime).

I have heard there are issues with the pannasonic lenses. I would get the 45 1.8 to start... although it is a little long. I thought i'd want something wider, but it seems im lusting after something longer now... If i were to get a wide lens i'd shop for the brand new 17mm from olympus.

I'm one of those guys that likes to use brands with brands, tho i do wish those cheaper panny's didnt have as many issues as ive read about them...
