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.

    Blue Lagoon Geothermal pools. Olympus E-M1, 12-60mm SWD 4/3 lens. Grainy film art filter
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. Playing with the art filters built into the E-M1.
    Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Olympus E-M1, 12-60mm
Another spectacular waterfall and one you can walk behind. This shot captured with the 4/3 12-60mm. So pleased to know that my 4/3 lenses are producing equally, if not better images with the E-M1.
    Gullfoss waterfall. Olympus E-M1, 12mm
This is one massive & powerful waterfall. Plenty of opps for wide shots together such as this which nicely captures the scale of these falls.
