Thank you, Philippe - I know that normally I shouldn't comment on
shortcomings of a photo, but in the blog, I wanted to point out the
shortcoming of the camera. If mirror-lockup were implemented more "normally"
on the E-330, I could have caught the moment better. And imagine how
frustrated I would have been with the way Olympus does mirror-lockup if the
fisherman had actually caught a fish -- very small probability, I know . . .
Another interesting footnote to the photograph - when I saw what the early
evening light was doing, I pulled off the nearest freeway exit north of
Eugene, Oregon Alpenglow was lighting Mt Hood to the east with the river
(Willamette, I think) in the foreground, and I furiously set up tripod and
telephoto. But TOO LATE! Clouds closed over the mountain before I could get
off a shot. However the setting sun made beautiful back light in the other
direction. With everything set on the camera and tripod for the mountain
shot I had just missed, all I had to do was position the camera a few feet
away and shoot the river scene. A minute later the boat moved away for
happier hunting grounds, but not before I got the shot.
Don't let the photo you missed disappoint you from looking for the next one,
sometimes just a couple feet away!
