A Little Live Music with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7

I've been working a lot lately, and not getting out for enough shooting. I have roughly kept up with my posts, but it's been a stretch.

 

Last night, after a full day of science, I headed out to see Jake and the Burtones at LoCo Joe's Coffee in Purcellville, VA. Here are my favorite shots from the evening.

 

Forgive the brevity; I'm a little short on time this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This final shot was made with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 and Series 2 kit lens at iso 6400. Not bad. The remaining images were made with the Pana-Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4 and Olympus 75mm f1.8 lenses at iso 1600 and 3200.

Suryo Widjaja Shares Olympus OM-D Photos From Myanmar on Steve Huff Photo

Photographer Suryo Widjaja has written a guest piece on Steve Huff's blog, sharing several wonderful images he took in Myanmar in January of this year.

Myanmar is definitely on my bucket list. I know a couple of people who've been able to gain entry to the country for tourism, and they have a lot of great things to say about the place. Anywhere that measures "Gross National Happiness" sounds okay to me.

 

Suryo reports that he took two Olympus OM-D bodies on the trip - his most-used lens was an Olympus 17mm f1.8, second was the Olympus 75mm f1.8. His 12mm saw little use. I have the 75mm f1.8, and it's a keeper.

 

I am about to take a week long vacation, and I'm planning to take my Leica M9, 35mm Summicron, and a medium telephoto (likely my Canon 135mm f3.5 LTM). This post encourages me to travel light, and my choice of lenses closely matches the field of view of Suryo's lenses on his Micro 4/3 gear. Of course, I'll carry the diminuitive Lumix DMC-LX7 as well. So much capability in such a small package simply cannot be left behind. Plus, it gives me closeup capability not available in the M9, at least not easily.

 

Suryo has shown how much you can do with two lenses. I'm impressed.
