Not all that familiar with mirror less cameras but i know they are tiny , good for hand held images and cost as much as entry level DSLRs. How did you get these images with a 25 mm lens, especially the 3rd and 4th image ? . Does this lens allow you to focus very close to the subject or the flowers were on steroids ? if you have cropped these images heavily in Post, the image quality has not suffered at all . High ISO performance is a surprise. what is the crop factor on this sensor?

Interesting! This pictures don't look at all like like ISO 51200 was used. I would expect them to have much more noise.

Thanks Mandrake for sharing this info with me.. totally new to me and very interesting. I will try if my mac can do this...

These photos was taken in a indoor garden.. although sunlight still come in but not direct, that day was cloudy, maybe that is why the high ISO.

Thanks for all encouragements!!!

Hello Jane. Yes your photos are beautifully vibrant. I saved the files that you've posted and listed them in the "detail view" using Windows 7 (I know you use a Mac and I'm not really sure how you would do this.) The above is a screen capture of the list.

All of the shots were taken at a wide aperture of f/2.2. While the shutter speeds are not particularly fast, a very high ISO of 51200 was surprisingly needed for proper exposure. Do you remember if the location was unusually dark or do you find high ISOs are normal with the E-M5 and this lens?

Keep up the good work. It is a pleasure to have you in the forum.

Thanks for liking my photos i am so happy!!~

The next time when i go back i will definitely try the rule of thirds!!

I am using the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mirrorless with the 25mm f1.8 lens, @nikonguy how did you know by just looking at the photos which camera is use to take it?

Lovely pictures!
I noticed that you used an Olympus camera to create these images.
Very impressed with the clarity and vibrancy that it produces.
All really pleasing - is a good idea to try and use the rule of thirds though
when possible to offset main subject and make image a little more interesting.
Hope you have a great time taking pictures and looking forward to many more
posts from you for us to enjoy in future.
Dale.

Beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite is #2. These colors are very pleasing to my eyes. I also like repetition in #3 and the stripes on the flowers make the photo interesting.

I've notised that when you photograph a single flower you place it in the middle. Next time I would also suggest to try to place it in the rule of thirds. Let see what will look better.

I like the 3rd and 4th ones the best, but they are all very nice. Thanks for sharing them.
