Earlier this week – looking up at the cherry tree in our front garden with the street lamp above and behind.

This is an experiment. I have been trying the OM mount 75-260 zoom on my Olympus EM1 mark ii micro 4/3 camera, using an OM to M4/3 adaptor. This image was taken with the lens at 260mm, so with the quirks of the M4/3 system this becomes equivalent to about 520mm. And it is manual focus, so relying on my eyesight to ensure a sharp image.

This spot amongst the tall beech trees is one of my very favourite places in the Forest of Bere. It reminds me of being inside a cathedral.

Taken through the first floor landing window. The tree was catching the weak winter afternoon sun.

Maple – with ITM*

ITM is intentional tree movement. I felt more confident allowing the wind to create the impressionistic effect than I did trying what photographers call ICM – intentional camera movement.
