Taken for a club competition, Sport. Is an imaged of a sculpture of a mountain bike on a roundabout in Hadleigh, Essex, UK. Lens was zoomed during exposure.

Found my Ultra Thin Polarizer that I used to use on mt Konica 21mm film camera lens..it's 55mm, also found a 58 to 55mm step down ring, so was able to use it on the 14-42mm Olympus Kit lens that came with the E-420. Decided to leave all other filters at home and go for a walk and see what this camera will do...

I think this looks pretty nice...

It was a dreary evening. Rain clouds cast a dark grey light and everything looked flat and not very pretty. Luckily I had the E-30 and switched to the 'Pop-Art' filter and Viola...colors were exciting and everything looked wonderful! I did discover one aspect of the Art Filters that I didn't like at all...and that is when I raised the flash, with an Art-Filter active, you cannot control the brightness of the flash. No way to set a -1 stop exposure on the amount of flash that gets pumped out. I had another composition that I liked better, but the flash fired way too strong and ruined the shot. This one "just happened" to balance out correctly because of the amout of ambient light, not because I was in full control. I understand the later body, the EP-2 will allow full access to the control panel settings while an Art Filter is active and that is what I needed this evening.
