Testing the PEN in its natural environment: outward bound and broadly abroad
We received the PEN just in time to shoot the studio scene before I headed off to the UK for a short break. This meant I got to spend a chunk of time using it the way it’s intended: for everyday and travel photography.
Below are the results from that time: photos of the places and friends I visited, photos from Seattle, London, Northampton and Gloucestershire. What should come across is the degree to which I was able to carry the camera with me, much of the time, so I have a couple of late-night photos, I was able to grab a shot of a friend, mid-laugh: something I might not have got if I had to dig into a camera rucksack to use a larger camera.
I tried to make use of a selection of lenses (something made easier by having a choice of compact Micro Four Thirds options), and made sure to include a hand-held high-resolution mode sample and some side-by-sides in a selection of the camera’s color modes. As usual, you can download the Raws to run through your converter of choice, once support arrives.
