Traffic cone on a bollard overlooking downtown Corpus Christi, TX from the People's Street T-Head.

1. How did you get the bollard and cityscape in focus? Cool photo

[qnr]

3. I was using a tripod. Just a long exposure with a smaller stop

thanks!

[alfredo]

5. It worked well. Wide angle lens?

[qnr]

6. Not really, equiv to a 36mm lens. n/t

[alfredo]

7. On my camera, it would take a 17mm to get 35mm

[qnr]

8. Approximately the same on mine. 17mm would be 34mm for me. However;

that particular photo was on an old bridge camera, which is why I was being approximate. It's from a Panasonic FZ-7.

I generally shoot Olympus, an older E-30.

9. That will probably have more than a 2X crop factor. That helps getting a big depth of field.

I use Micro 4/3 which has a 2X crop factor. Yours should have a crop factor of 5.62 with the 1/2.5 inch sensor. It handled the dark sky well.

[qnr]

10. Indeed - as illustrated by the fact that the stated aperture was

f/3.6

Yeah, as soon as I saw the crop factor I figured you had a Micro 4/3 or a 4/3 (which mine is - though I'm saving my pennies for an E-M1 - though that won't happen for a while (as indicated by my signature line)).

11. I have the EM10, more than enough for my style. It has functions the EPM2 lacks.

The IQ is not much better, but it has a tilt screen and more external controls.

I'd love to try the PEN F, But wouldn't turn down the EM 1.

2. nice color

I especially like the green and orange contrast.

4. Thank you - I had the tripod set under an incandescent street lamp,

so I had the white balance set for incandescent in order to get the colors right on the bollard and traffic cone - that turned everything else a little greenish, and I liked it.
