Micro 4/3 Panasonic GX7 image thread

Had a pretty good wait at the airport for my daughter's flight to arrive. I had the GX7 and the 7-14, so I decided to go look around. Found this sculpted area that I'd forgotten about. One of those shoots where the art is mostly the architects and I'm not adding a whole lot to it, but I tried to frame it in a way that did it some level of justice. Fun to be shooting in any case. And I love the 7-14...

Very pleased with the used GX-7 I got on Amazon (Christmas treat for me!). I posted on mu-43 that, for me, it is a more real digital incarnation of the original Pen-F which I consider one of the best film cameras ever. I went back and forth on the silver GX-7 body and an equally good deal on a slightly used black E-P5 with VF-4. As much of an unabashed Oly fan that I am, I went with the GX-7 because of the integrated finder and better video. Focus peaking and 1/8000 shutter speeds were two great features as well, but available on both cameras.

Took both my Pen-F and GX-7 out yesterday and today in the bitter NJ cold, using legacy Pen lenses, the Oly 15mm body cap, and Oly 12mm F2.0. I realized how cold it was when it became very difficult to move the film advance lever on my Pen F, and when the supposedly 1/250 shutter speed I set was sounding more like 1/4 sec. That old lubricant gets gummed up pretty quickly, I guess. Used the GX-7 for the rest of my photos.


Bodycap lens and BW conversion on LR 4.4.

Two from the Oakland Museum

Two more GX7 images, taken on a recent trip to an intriguing and offbeat museum in the Bay Area (that's the San Francisco Bay, of course) from my home in Oregon - the Oakland Museum of California, in downtown Oakland - a strange name but some wonderful and eclectic collections.

One was a distorting mirrored sculpture by Larry Bell which invited reflected self-portraits -

The other that I am posting here is a legendary California road sign, created by John Hood, displayed quite intriguingly here - and taken with the GX7's in-camera 'Miniature' filter which defocuses non-central parts of the image -

Both taken with the standard - and quite excellent, in my opinion, 14-42mm 'kit' Panasonic lens.
 
Vines on an old Volvo

A series of shots I just took, in the 'wine country' near Portland, Oregon - of an ancient, cannibalized 'parts car' - an old Volvo - which lives alongside the vineyards of a good friend in the tiny town of Dundee - and which (the car) has been overgrown by some wonderful blackberry vines.

Something about the open window just 'got' me -

GX7 + legacy Pentax lens portrait

my 'new' (relatively speaking) GX7 body + my ancient (also relative) 'legacy' portrait lens - the classic Pentax 50mm f/1.7, strictly manual focus & aperture, not Pentax's fastest lens by any means but among cognoscenti or hardcore Pentaxians, one of the better (and underrated) pieces of Pentax glass -

combining them seems to bring me consistently cool results -
