Lazy Photography (1)
Although I like to get out into the field to take pictures by far the most I make here in my own home. Here are two images of Irem that I shot a day, or so, back. I was testing my OM Zuiko 24mm lens on the EP-2. I also tested some other lenses.
OM Zuiko 24mm at F2.8
EP-2 ISO 1000
The shot above is pretty accurate. The kitchen was fairly dark. Irem was checking a recipe for my favourite vinaigrette dressing prior to giving some fresh avocados the ‘treatment’.
The image below has been re-processed in the camera using the EP-2′s ‘Grainy Black and White’ filter. It looks dramatically different, indeed it seems to tell a completely different story even though it is the same moment.
This image really destroys the concept of a ‘decisive moment’ in photography, since the whole tone of the image was changed after it was taken, which is, of course, true of all photographs.
EP-2 Grainy Monochrome Filter
The Image Is Now Far More Dramatic!
