This is a favorite place of mine, the old Boynton House. A once beautiful Victorian style home. Actually it’s still a beauty.
Hard to believe but this was once a cattle farm, way out in the swamps/marshes of the ACE Basin. The best timeline as an active farm is the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The family descendants still reside in the Charleston area.
Ellen and I stopped by the other day and I grabbed a few shots using custom filters on my original OM-1 camera, finishing the image in DxO Filmpack. Filmpack has a feature that allows you to place a general a date and select film looks from that timeframe. I used a 1920’s simulation. Something fun and it teaches me about the options available at the time.
Taken with a OM-1 (1), Olympus 12-200 lens.
Here she is again – the now legendary 12-200mm. Honestly, we OM System folks only need two lenses in life: the Leica 100–400mm (pick your version), and this Olympus/OM 12–200mm. That’s it. End of discussion.
I’m genuinely glad and grateful – you kept showing it off in your shots, Ted. Otherwise, I probably would’ve kept ignoring it like most people do. But it’s an absolute gem. Thanks for that, Ted!
When I changed to MFT I swore against GAS. And you’re right, except for my historical buildings work I don’t need anything more than those two.
My theory is this; if you take any modern lens, use it, learn it, you will find where it works best. There are no bad lens anymore, some a little better than others, but the modern gear is all pretty good.
Thanks again 😆, have fun shooting.
All done in camera? PS may have a bit to worry about then.
Half in camera, balance in DxO Filmpack. My OM cameras have a number of filters installed. I have an OM-1 with multiple B&W custom modes setup. One cannot live by wildlife alone 😆
