G'day Simon,

Welcome from Sydney, Oz. Very nice flower pics. Borders are proper dogs! Any
one who says anything to the contrary has never had the privelege of owning
one. We have just lost ours after twelve and a half years so your picture
brings back a host of happy memories. Oh, and OM's are great companions too
as are the members of this list.

Regards,
John.

Time to introduce myself, having been "lurking" for a fortnight or so...

My first OM was an OM-10, bought for me when I was 14 (I think) as a
birthday present. It went wrong, and I got an OM-1N to replace it (which I
still have). Via various purchases, including recently on eBay (oh dear!) I
have around a dozen Zuiko lenses plus an additional OM-2N (with which I am
very impressed).

I understand it's protocol to post a few pictures. Please forgive me as I
haven't actually got an artistic bone in my body. I'm fascinated by cameras
from a technical perspective, though, and do (at least feel) I understand
*how* to take photos, but framing arty ones is beyond me at the moment
(though I'm keen to learn).

Anyway, here are some photos, simply scanned in, no cropping, no electronic
jiggery-pokery. All taken on Fuji Superia (100 or 200) and printed by Club35
in London.

3 red hot pokers in our garden. 75-150 Zoom wide open to reduce DoF.

Bee on honey suckle. 35-105 Zoom on "close focus" setting ca. 55mm.

British Black cat. Can't remember which lens, but would guess 35mm F2.
Clearly not open enough, though! But it's difficult to get the detail on
black cats, and I think I did reasonably well.

Border Collie. Focus on dog. 75-150 at 150mm, to bring vegetation behind a
bit closer; probably about F11.

Comments very welcome (I can take criticism well)!

Now that's out of the way, I've got some questions to follow shortly in
other messages....

Thanks,

Simon Worby
