Olympus OM-10 on 10-10-10 and 10-13-10, Roll 2

We have a little group of 5 photographers who correspond daily.
We recently decided that we would have an "OM-10" event. The idea was to each shoot with our own examples of Olympus OM-10, and then compare our results. We further decided that it would be best if our window of opportunity would be the 10th Month, October, of 2010.

Thus, OM-10 in 10-10.

The Olympus OM-10 is a 35mm SLR made between 1979 and 1987. It is compact, light weight, compatible with most Olympus 35mm SLR equipment. However, a friend who spent many years in the business of retailing and servicing cameras "in the day" now informs me that the OM-10 was one of the most unreliable cameras he remembers, many of them coming back in for repairs. He suggests that I am lucky with this one.

(My first day of shooting with my OM-10 occurred on the first day of October at the St. Louis Zoo, see previous gallery.)

A second roll of Walgreens asa 200 film was loaded...
I exposed the first half here at home on 10-10-10.
Then on Wednesday the 13th, I finished the roll, with a couple of shots on the way up to High Ridge Boulevard, and then on a short trail walk at the local nature preserve on Highway PP.

Ed, you should go bacck and reshoot 21 and 24 when the leaves are at their peak. Those could be spectacular if the right trees are there.

Ed,
Love them all, and the colors are coming in up here rather quickly. OM was a great camera. Know a number who used them, but you've done great job as usual with your 200 film, and talents. Thanks for sharing. I especially like #24, reminds me of a small place I need to visit, where nature is left as is, and only paths of the wild dominate it's beauty. God Bless Pal.
