Today’s Post by Jamie Zartman
Happy New Year to you. I started the New Year here in Grand Junction, Colorado with temperatures at 22 degrees . Earlier this morning, I was driving to pick up some groceries, when I saw a collection of rusting VW bodies outside a small business.
I took a few photographs using both my iPhone 12Pro and Olympus E-M1 III with a much loved M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Lens.
The M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO from Olympus is a versatile 80-300mm equivalent telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. As part of the company’s PRO series of lenses, this lens has a bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture for consistent illumination throughout the zoom range to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Its optical design uses a series of aspherical and low dispersion glass elements to suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations for sharpness and clarity, and uses a ZERO coating to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast, color-accurate imaging.
After looking at the photos, I decided to create a grouped impression of the VW bodies, mostly shooting through a linked fence around the yard.
Note from Joe: Jamie’s post production efforts with these photographs provide, I think, a very Van Gogh, interpretation while adding lots of interest. Maybe that’s why he was the winner of our last photo contest!
