Photo of The Day: Happy Chinese New Year!:
I went out today to shoot more with the Olympus OM-D before I have to return it, and decided to check out Chinatown, since today is Chinese New Year. I saw some of the lion dances going on, and took quite a few photos, most of which I’m saving for my X-E1 vs. OM-D post later. This was only the beginning; next weekend, the lion dances are going to occur all day…I think it’s going to be Saturday if I’m correct.
This photo was taken with the OM-D, and the Panasonic 25 Summilux F1.4 ASPH. What an awesome lens…I actually ran into this “lion” by accident, and when I saw him, i just started snapping away. I was extremely close to him so a lot of the photos had the lion cut off a lot. I checked out what I got, and I found this photo with the guy inside staring straight at me completely tack sharp. I was quite honestly amazed because there was so much movement! This is where the autofocus on the OM-D really comes into play. It was so fast, and precise. Plus, the image stabilization probably had a hand in this shot as well.
Anyway, I might be going to next week’s Chinese New Year celebration but I’m not sure yet. If I do, I’ll probably be shooting with the X-E1. The Oly was fun to use but I miss my Fuji. Take care everyone!

Hi Meng,
Happy Chinese New Year to you as well :). Lol, the comparison is in the works. I’ve just been getting a bit busier, which kind of sucks. But it is coming :)!
