marigold

all the way to the front porch

I succumbed to the temptation of a readymade subject in order to test out the new toy...the Olympus Tough TG-3 is a compact, offering a range of shooting options...art effects and macro capabilities offer interesting photo options, yet the fact that it is waterproof, or at least immersible to 15m, was a major draw...finally have a camera that can be used during Vancouver's long, wet winters...to check out the macro a marigold was a quick and easy choice...it doesn't look so sharp, and the DOF could be greater...still the early image does provide useful feedback

Olympus TG-3
1/60s f/2.3 at 5.5mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Good choice for rough weather and shockproof, also for underwater photos, rock climbing, moutain biking, paragliding and more....Adventures and fun ahead! V.

Nicely photographed with this narrow depth of field. It seems to render the colors very well. I will soon have the chance to try it as well as our local Olympus Rep. is going to let us test drive all their cameras. "V"
