I had my wrist strap on I would poke my camera out, wait for some yellow taxis to come to the scene and shoot a few. Due to the angle I couldn't see the display so I had to do several tries to get it held right.
Oh, that's making me dizy. Great shot.
Thanked by BBW.

I'd say you got it right! Great perspective. Great blue sky and clouds too, as an extra bonus.

The 9-18mm zoom is such a versatile little lens. Prior to getting this lens, I had the Panasonic 20mm lens on the camera more than 90% of the time. Now it is the 9-18mm lens that gets that treatment and I cannot see that changing in the near future.

This shot was taken after first light and before sunrise. It was a very overcast morning and it started raining moments later. This is actually a blended shot made from 3 exposures using +/- 1EV bracketing in the E-P1 and then combined using the Photomatix's Exposure Fusion process (which I find better than combining images using the HDR process).

The shot was composed at the 9mm end (but cropped slightly to around 10mm equivalent). The 3 shots were at ISO100 and f/9 with exposures of 4, 2 and 8 seconds.

The fusion process allows me to get the detail out of the rocks without blowing out the sky.
That's really nice. I haven't even begun to play around with combining exposures - don't know if I ever will - but I really like the effect. As you say, this is a really versatile lens. I tend to use it mostly either at 9 or 18 without a lot of time in the intermediate lengths. I guess its like having two fine primes in one lens - a walk around lens at the 18 focal length and a very wide angle at 9. It's an odd thing that I almost never find myself using it as a zoom. I'm usually at 18 and thinking it would be nice if it went to 25 or at 9 and wishing it went to 7. Odd psychology with this lens. I still tend to keep the 17 or 20 on most of the time, but I expect this lens to get a LOT of use walking around various parts of Europe next month.

Hi Ray, I think most people tend to use wide zooms that way. It isn't something that I would have imagined before getting it, although I knew it would spend a lot of time around 9mm.

This is about as non-seascape as I get...



Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm lens set to 15mm. One of the rare occassions that I haven't used the lens at either end of the zoom.
