Outside the dining room window
This was shot through the dining room window. It is of some flowers
on the railing just outside the window.
I've started to like the Olympus E-P2 again. I've had the camera for
about six years and didn't like it much when it was new. I bought it
thinking it was going to be a digital camera for people like me, stuck
in film mode. It wasn't. It was noisy and cumbersome, and it had too
many menu-hidden adjustments. Having used a lot more digital cameras
in the meantime, though, I've come to appreciate some things about it.
This was with the Olympus 40-150 zoom, at its longest extension
(which is almost the only way I use that lens).
This is a square crop of about 40% of the frame. A low-fi .jpg was
made for posting.

I have been trying to take a picture of the moon. I'm using Olympus AF zoom lens (40-150mm) but the EP-2's autofocus does not do a good job of getting the moon sharp. So I have been using manual focus. The focus ring goes well beyond the infinity label; that is, I can't just turn the focus ring to the end. So I must "eye" the focus. In a normally lit scene, the viewer switches into the zoom view and keeps the light level as it had been. But, with a dark sky and bright moon, the viewer seems to average the light level, and thus the moon is completely washed out and I can see no details to focus on! The best, then, I can do it take a lot of pictures with guessed focus, hoping one of them will be sharp. Got any advice?
My problem with the enlarged point is that (at least on my camera) the brightness changes back to a full-open sort of brightness, and making it impossible to see any details to focus with.
