Iceland E5

Mark takes the new Olympus E5 for a test run in stunning Iceland. The new Olympus E5 and Iceland...a perfect match! A frantic few days to put the new E5 through its paces. Natural wonders such as geothermal springs, waterfalls, glaciers, icebergs aurora borealis and volcanoes. I was spoilt for choice. Full report in the Dec issue of Photo Pro magazine :-) All images of myself were taken with E3. A number of the images have been uploaded as full res JPEG's for detailed viewing. You will also see some strange looking HDR type images. These are images processed by the the E5's new 'dramatic tone' art filter. No colour adjustment has been made to ANY of the images. Some resized images have been level tweaked in Aperture. In addition, it is worth noting that the images captured in Jokulsarlon lagoon of the icebergs, most were taken from a moving RIB, which itself made shooting more difficult. The camera was metering through ESP+AF and for the first part of the shoot I had forgotten to set the focusing from spot, which means metering would have been where the AF spot was pointing. Whilst noticeable on the odd over blown spot, most fared well even with my human error....It happens to the best of us ;-)
