Iceland E-M1

Iceland welcomes the Olympus OMD E-M1. Dramatic as it is spectacular, Iceland is the perfect backdrop to test the new Olympus flagship. Breathtaking scenery, with challenging dynamic range via the watery, icy and volcanic landscape. Armed with an array of lenses (m4/3) 12mm, 75-300mm & (4/3) 12-60mm SWD, 7-14mm & 8mm fisheye this was to be my third visit to this wonderful country. A perfect playground to push the new Extreme mirror-less dslr replacement and its host of features such as 'live bulb', time lapse, art filters and test the water/freeze proof qualities. All pics are captured with the E-M1 except those on the last 2 pages with myself in action - these give a pictorial insight of how I work the camera to get the shots, and were captured with the OMD E-M5.

    Skogafoss waterfall. Olympus E-M1, 12-60mm SWD 4/3 lens. Key Line art filter. This huge waterfall offers a dramatic and spectacular subject. The first time I have captured with Clear skies and sunshine thus providing opportunities for a rainbow resulting from the huge amount of spray generated as the water cascades downwards. Playing with the art filters built into the E-M1.
    Blue Lagoon Geothermal pools. Olympus E-M1, 12-60mm SWD 4/3 lens. Hot (mid 80'sF) and milky blue water rich in minerals like silica and sulphur constantly oozing steam are not the usual places one would take a camera..... perfect, in with the the E-M1 I went. The milkly blue water, steam and reflecting sunlight made for a harsh and dramatic environment in which to test out the various art filters and high dynamic range environment. I really liked the dramatic tone images such as this, shooting into the sun and effecting eerie shadow like creatures.
