Craig Semetko Fuji X-T1 vs Olympus OM-D E-M1 Hey, Christine. You’ve probably gotten a heavy dose of info from me, but I’d like to add some final (really the last?) thoughts… Good luck on your choice, you really can’t lose with either E-M1 or X-T1. Again, i would probably buy both E-M1 AND X-T1 if I had the money, but I can only commit to 1 system and for me the E-M1 has better bang for the $$. Let’s keep things positive and stick to the +’s of both cameras to see what makes them good… in my opinion. Off the top of my head right now, I’ll start with the shorter list of likes of X-T1 over the E-M1. 1a) X-Trans APS-C Sensor – Great higher IQ for higher ISO & Low Light. 1b) Related to the first point, but because of the larger sensor size, you’ll get more shallow depth of field. 2a) Design and form factor – Although I still find the dials slightly less efficient in overall camera use, I still really like the look and feel of them. 4) Separate dedicated Exposure Lock & Focus Lock Buttons. 1) 5-Axis In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS).
Jaka Bulc The First Micro Four Third Lenses You Should Buy The state of Micro Four Thirds lenses is really an embarrassment of riches right now. Olympus and Panasonic have created a wide array of lenses that are almost all remarkably affordable and of incredible optical quality. Knowing where to start can be really overwhelming, so we’re going to suggest a number of lenses—and you’ll be able to grab almost all of them and still stay under a $2000 budget. The Technical Stuff: Ok, first up, we have to hit a bit of technical mumbo jumbo here. You don’t need to know this, but it’s useful to have on tap, so you can understand other things later on. Just a quick note about lenses on Micro Four Thirds—and indeed, almost all mirrorless cameras. This also ties to the “crop factor” of the sensor, as well. That’s what the crop factor amounts to—it increases the effective focal length of a lens. Also, there is something to be said for brand loyalty with these lenses. The Zoom: Long zoom This zoom outperforms its price tag by a wide margin. Stabilized zoom Macro
Erin O'Keefe - Erin O'Keefe Erin O'Keefe is a visual artist and architect based in New York City and New Brunswick, Canada. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University. I am a visual artist and an architect, and my work is informed by both of these disciplines. My background in architecture is the underpinning for my art practice, providing my first sustained exposure to the issues and questions that I explore in my photographs. The questions that I ask through my work are about the nature of spatial perception, and the tools that I use to explore these issues are rooted in the abstract, formal language of making that I developed as an architect. As a photographer, I am interested in the layer of distortion and misapprehension introduced by the camera as it translates three dimensional form and space into two dimensional image.

This year’s holiday card began almost one year ago, at the beginning of 2015. While shooting a project for Tiffany & Co., we had the opportunity to rent a private helicopter to get aerial shots of Manhattan. Considering there is not enough Xanax in the world to get me in a helicopter again, I had to find a new strategy for shooting at this high but intimate angle. It was an incredibly difficult shot to take. After the image was captured, we packed up and headed to my favorite darkroom in Boston for printing (which made for a great 24 hour Snapchat story!) The text that accompanies the print: This is a limited edition fiber print of downtown Manhattan, not far from where our own studio lives on a narrow passage called Ann Street. In “City #1”, we look down on Manhattan’s past through the layers of history stacked one by one on top of each other like crowded building blocks ever reaching taller to the heavens. Happy New Year!
