Spent the weekend in the Blue Mountains and managed to sneak out last night with the intension of shooting some star trails with the Nikon and then maybe have a go at the Emu with the OM-D but, alas, a solid cloud cover and strong winds shot plan A down with a whimper...
Plan B was a walk up the main drag with the Olympus for some practise at 'street photography'. With the OM-D in aperture priority set wide open (F3.5 is as quick as the kit lens get) and auto ISO with a set limit of 1600, I was amazed at how slow some of the shutter speeds I was successfully shooting at hand held..... Down to 1/5 sec.....?
They don't call me Tripod for nothing?????
Well actually they don't......I know things get increasing more unreliable as you drop below 1/60 sec.
Must be the OM-D's Image Stabilisation System at work. Very impressive!
