Micro Four Thirds Sensors have some struggles, but I am very impressed with the Olympus EM1vII. Im obviously using a 1.2 Grad Filter in a Cokin P holder set on the 12-35 2.8 Pany lens, but it holds up pretty well for a small sensor:1/160, f7.1, ISO 250 on a Tripod
It shows a Portland city street blanketed in snow with crows perched atop the snowy trees. It’s a great contrast and interesting visual. They’re calling it “Crow on Snow” and it was taken with a Nikon D700, ambient light, aperture mode, F16. Thank for sharing officers!
