Nice car and nice photos. I agree with you that the color shots are better
than the black and white. The B&W ones seem to lack punch. A little soft and
dull. /jmac

Subject: [OM] pictures, imposters near misses and car adverts
With all this talk of imposters and after the lessons learnt on Tuesday
this week can I apply to be one, I now know that butane gas lamps work
quite well even when submerged in water, I knew I should have paid more
attention to chemistry before trying to do some plumbing in the cellar,
I also learnt that you should exercise extreme caution when putting down
electric drills otherwise they can make nasty holes in things,
fortunately for me this time just the trousers I was wearing. Actually
these sort of things never used to happen to me so maybe I am the
imposter already :-).
Finally I managed to see sense (reluctantly) and agree that my beloved
RS4 must be sold, so yesterday I cleaned it and took it to a nicer spot
than outside our house to do some promotional photos, once again the
fisheye comes useful. These shots are with the E1 but I also took some
shots with the OM4 and Bronica - I stupidly forgot to take a telephoto
because I couldn't capture the muscle from the arches with the wide
angles so I think standing back and using a telephoto would have been
much better, anyway your thoughts good and bad are welcome as always.

Spurred on by Graham's beautiful clouds I decided to test out if the
yellow filter works better for digital (E1) black and white, apart from
the fisheye I only have one coloured filter which hapens to be yellow
and is 100mm so it only fits the 180F2. I found esp worked best for
metering (normally I use centre weighted) but I think the colour shots
are generally nicer. The order is colour photo then black and white
version, converted in gimp with mode option) no other tweaks made.
thought and opinions welcome.
