Dolomiti - Olympus E-P3

[Photo-John]

This is a photo of the Dolomite Mountains in Northern Italy, taken during Jenni and my honeymoon, with the Olympus E-P3 Pen camera. The word "epic" is much abused these days but I really think it applies here.

This is one of the first E-P3 photos I've been able to process from the RAW and I am very pleased. Lightroom doesn't support E-P3 files yet so I'm using the Olympus Viewer 2 software. It's a bit clunky as far as workflow goes but it gets the job done and I am very pleased about the quality. Apparently, DxO has rated the image quality of the E-P3 lower than the previous E-PL2. But that doesn't match my experience with the two cameras. Maybe I am just dazzled by the new camera but my *feeling* so far is the E-P3 is much better than the E-PL2. I need to get some studio tests up so I can do a real comparison but I can't help but wonder if DxO got a bad E-P3.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this photo. I still have tons more from the honeymoon but got delayed by work and the need to set up a new photo server when we got back. It's been a couple of weeks and I am just now getting around to looking at the photos again. There are lots more to come. Prepare yourselves
