The slow clouds landscape is nice. It would be cool to see another shot of the 
same view, using OM-1 Live ND function, maybe ND8 and ND16, f4, 20mm. Hmmm, 
I've got an ND8 filter around here . . . Project for another time.

The trouble is with too much light the slowest simulated SS is limited by the 
actual SS.  One needs to get to 1/2 sec to have a 30 sec equivalent exposure 
with ND 64---6 stops.  That was not possible.  I found out the hard way one day 
and broke down and read the manual.  There is a firmware limit of max SS to 
each ND.
Breakdown of the fastest shutter speeds available depending on the Live ND 
setting:   
   - ND2 (1EV): 1/60 s
   - ND4 (2EV): 1/30 s
   - ND8 (3EV): 1/15 s
   - ND16 (4EV): 1/8 s
   - ND32 (5EV): 1/4 s
   - ND64 (6EV): 1/2 s
   - ND128 (7EV): 1 s 
Sometimes a pol is all that is required.  One can combine a real ND filter with 
the simulated ones to save time.  I was hoping you would like it.  The straight 
shot is a tie with it, IMO, but I wanted the more deliberate composed shot to 
be better.


<<<Speaking of focal length, PLeica 12-60? Didn't even know you had one; I

We're a flexible household.  The 12-60 fits in my hiking carrying case and the 
12-100--no go.
Have a great time.
