the Oly has a very fast high speed silent shutter mode me much likies.. This was from a burst of probably five shots...

yup.. tough to handle and still haven't spent enough time learning camera.. Oly has a much less intuitive UI than Pentax imo

Ok smarty pants, how many shutter releases to get this one? What are the odds? And with the crown's reflection! I bow down.

The best of the set I reckon. Very nice artistic character, mild abstraction even; love that wide streak of yellow dappling in the brown.

This seems crisper, but the colour's not as vibrant as the neighbouring shots.

All sorts of competing factors in this game eh - fast shutter needs wide aperture; high ISO noise etc going in another direction. I prefer this image with the dark ripples on light water cf the light ones on dark, but that's just a personal preference. I'd like to see the lens combo pointed at some stars, or the moon, or little birds far away, but I'm still enjoying your experiments here.

This one's got enough on the mark to shine. The background bokeh's nice too.

A touch forward focussed? No biggy given you're experimenting with 800mm

Also fun!

Fun!
