The photo (one of many) was taken in part of the living-room of the 'new' 
house.  I needed the shortest focal-length lens I could fit on the E-1, as I 
was having problems getting far enough away from bouncy 7-year-olds and 
seeing around couches etc.  I do have a Samyang 18-24 zoom but opted for 
the 21mm.  I do have a 16mm f/2.8, but it's a Sigma fisheye. Wouldn't look 
good with straight lines involved.

Remember that 21mm on 35mm film equates to 42mm on the E-1.  I started 
out the evening with a 50mm lens but 100m equivalent was giving just head 
shots:-(

3200asa, 1/30 second, VERY noisy, ran it through FastStone once to sort 
out colour (ended up quite accurate), and through Neat Image twice to get 
rid of noise - and although the final result is nothing to write home about, at 
least I gave it a shot, and it's much better that what came straight from the 
camera. 

Bouncy kids are dynamite to try and photograph in that sort of light.

Thanks for looking :-)
