Well, my last couple of posts on here have been about some of my favourite photographers and their influence and inspiration on me, so I thought it about time to post some of my own recent photographs from my Olympus OM-10 which i've had for nearly 3 months ...

The first one was taken at a local pub when I was going thru a phase of loving the low lighting of atmospheric bar/pub shots by Robert Frank and various other photographers ...

The second one was taken at another pub during a nice afternoon drink with my girlfriend ... she's quite camera shy, so rather than just stick the camera in her face, I decided to set the OM-10 to the lowest shutter setting, get a rough focus on the bar, place it on the table in front of me and casually take the picture while she was walking up the stairs ... what I was pleasantly surprised by was the depth of focus, this is one of my favourite photographs I've ever taken ...

The last one was taken at a busy roundabout in Colchester, again using the lowest shutter speed ... my tribute to street photography really :)

Joe.
