hey all, it's been long since i last updated this space, and i was previously gushing on about how much i like the GF3, but that was before i got to see G3 with it's crazy lovely swivel screen.
So i went ahead and sold my old trusty 1 year old LX3, intending to upgrade to a micro 4/3 in view of my increasing interest in photography thanks to my dear Irf.
But on the fateful day that i have planned to go get my G3, it was out of stock. Hah, how sad. Being all sad, i went home and sulked for a few days, whining about how sucky it is to be without a camera on hand.
Then Irf happily and casually asked me if i had ever considered the olympus pen EP3, and i confidently said no, and brushed it away. I only had to ask him 1 question, that is if it had a swivel screen, and he said no, so i just striked it out of my list totally.
But as the days go by and G3 not being in stock, Irf was telling me how he felt that a G3 might be too bulky for my liking in the long run. I thought about it, and went to do a research. Well, true to that, i kind of felt that way too.
But i still stood strong as i was very much in love with G3, until i did thorough research, and hands on for this EP3.
I still have my reserves with regards to this EP3, which is more expensive, and has no swivel screen which is exactly what i was looking for....
But apparently, EP3 has got quite abit of art filters which i like, especially the pinhole effect which i have absolutely loved from my LX3, which G3 does not have.
I finally caved in when i was at the camera shop, and took the EP3. And well, so far so good, like the pictures it give so far. I still have the same difficulty of camwhoring as there is not swivel screen, but well, there are always pros and cons to weigh, no?
I was presented with the white and black, and it took me like say, 15-20mins to decide on the colour? Would LOVE to have it in white, but because the camera is already slightly bulky, the white makes it look even bigger. And being afraid that the camera will t
lowish of dirty easily in the long run, i decided on black.urn yel
From time to time i still think longingly of the white, but reminded myself of why i took the black, and well, let's just say black is a very very safe colour, yea?
Heehee, i shall to babble anymore further. Shall just let the first batch of pictures do it's job.
No photoshop, no editting, just purely out of my new Oly. The only ammendments i make, is to resize the pictures for faster uploading.

Very first picture taken at home on the night i brought this home, which is incidentally on my birthday. An expensive birthday gift for myself on my 21st!
random shots.
Brought Oly out the next day and tested out the different art filters as shown below.
Soft Focus
Pop Art
Pale&Light Colour
Light Tone
Grainy Film
Pin Hole
Diorama
Cross Process
Gentle Sepia
Dramatic Tone
Dramatic tone looked kind of freaky on humans, but on landscape, it's not to bad!
Like that! This was shot on the bus we were on in the Dramatic Tone mode.

ok, that's all for today!
My 21st birthday came and went, nothing amazing, no celebration, just a day out with Irf and dinner with Irf and my family. Simple, but i like it this way.
:)
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!!
